Hello Everyone, Perhaps this has been mentioned in the discussion, but there is a Missouri Civil War list at Rootsweb. It is MO-CW. You can subscribe to it just like this one. Although whether that would provide additional information is questionable as we have several subscribers to the Lawrence Co. list who are experts on the issues in question. I joined the above MO-CW list briefly a while ago, primarily because I was following up on Dale West and Ross Cameron's information on my Confederate soldier Henry Bird, and I didn't want to continue appearing as such an ignorant buffoon here! I can tell you that my queries were answered swiftly and with much detail -- though I have still not got around to even asking/exploring whether and how I could find out if Henry Byrd's widow, Lucy, who lived 40 years after his death ever got around to applying for a pension for his Confederate service. Best Regards, Janet Hunter
