You probably already have this Missouri state nfo, but thought you might enjoy the site or want to add it to your favorites: <http://www.vitalrec.com/mo.html> There is a special address for ARCHIVED records. For birth records from 1862-1892 and state census 1876 and assessment book 1876 records, write to the Clerk of the County Court, Franklin County Courthouse, P.O. Box 311, Union, MO 63084-0311. For circuit court records and index, 1819-1886, write to Clerk of the Circuit Court at the same address. For Index to deed, 1870-1887, Deed records 1819-1900, Marriage records 1819-1901, marriage register 1819-1921, negro marriages 1866-1875, write to Recorder of Deeds at the same address.
