P.S. There is a site where the ENTIRE Missouri census records are coming online. (From 1830 through 1880.) This is being generously contributed by Ed and Sandy Mackley, at their own expense (for purchasing the microfilms) and their own labor. The site is: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~mackley/ There you will see a link to Census Images. A while back I sent a message that the 1840 Polk Co. census was there, and I just checked to see that the 1850 Dallas Co. cenus is now there! These are scans of the original census images, and there are no indices, so it takes a while to go through them to find the records that might interest you. But this is a tremendously valuable resource. --gary
