I recently checked into microfilms of early Jefferson (then St Louis County or Louisiana Territory) records. The first list is of films which I have ordered and for whom I am willing to scan for your ancestors if you’ll send me a list. The second list is other LDS films in which I am interested. If you have any of these films available to you and would be willing to look up my ancestor (hopefully an index), please let me know. Based on whether my ancestor is indexed on the film, I can decide whether to order it for myself. The third is a list of microfilms available to buy through the Missouri Archives (they have an on-line catalog). In many cases (or all) they will be basically the same roll of film that can be borrowed from the LDS - they just have different titles or descriptions. Marianne The following is the list of films that I recently ordered on LDS microfilm: #1510164 (item #1) St Louis County, MO (Louisiana Territory) circuit court record pleas Nov 1806 - Nov 1816 #0466341 (item #1) Collett’s General Index to St Louis County archives (Deeds, land grants, marriage, power of attorney, etc.) 1816-1848 (item #2 & #3) St Louis City archives records V1-2 1816-1847 (French and Spanish with English translation) #1697679 (items #7 & #8) St Louis County, MO wills v1 1804 -1849; index of probate Spanish archives 1766-1804; estate files 1804-1816 The following are some notes that I made on available microfilms: St Louis County, MO County Court - #1503009 Minutes v1-3 p 1-332 1816 - Feb 1824 #1503010 Minutes v3 p 331-428 Feb 1824 - Jul 1834 (other year spans available under separate microfilm numbers) Deed Records of city and county of St Louis, MO 1804-1901.
