So is there an 1860 census index that IS complete? I know there are census indexes you can buy on CD? Does anyone know if they are complete? Thanks for telling us about this.

The 1860 census of St. Louis (and the rest of the US) is not fully indexed in Ancestry or in Heritage Quest either. I am not sure that it is fully indexed on any on-line data base. I notice that there are folks who are assuming that their rellie was not in St. Louis because they did not find them in the on line index. That's not true! If you don't find your rellie in the on line index to the 1860 census of St. Louis, call the libraries and ask for a lookup in the 1860 census index. It is a hard copy book that is alphabetized, so lookups are fairly easy. I am listed on Dave Lossos site as willing to do look-ups in the 1860 census index. but PLEASE - give me a first name and approximate age if you can - especially if you have a common surname.

Just today I had occasion to look at the Accelerated 1860 index. Y'know, Fallon vs. Tallon.
