Posted on: Jefferson County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mo/Jefferson/383 Surname: McClernon ------------------------- I have a reference which suggests my great grandfather, Hugo McClernon, was born on 21-Apr-1873 in Crystal City, Missouri. He would have moved by 1898 because he married in Springfield, MO during that year. How can I verify his birth in Crystal City? Thanks in advance for any help as I am new to genealogy. Joe McClernon
