Hi Jean, My great uncle was Albert Wesley Morrow (he was called "Wes). His father was a judge in Taney Co., Mo area. He was born in 1875 - death in 1955 in Taneyville, Mo. His wife was Lulu Mayden daughter "Jep Johnson of Bradleyville, Mo. They did not have any children. Not sure if there is any connection or not.

Hi Julie, Are your Morrows related to the ones in Centralia, OK? My maiden name was Morrow. My father's father died in the flu epidemic in 1919 when he was 30, six months after my dad's birth. I have always wanted to know more about his family. My dad was Ellis Franklin Morrow (deceased); dad's father was George Franklin Morrow; dad's grandfather was Thomas Colby Morrow. From what I understand George Franklin Morrow had a sister named Fanny. I don't know where they were prior to coming to Centralia, OK to farm. Jean

I have a James Morrow who married Elizabeth Tabor, daughter of William Tabor and Susannah Tubbs. Wm and Susannah were married 1781 in Rutherford Co., NC making Elizabeth probably born between 1782-1810. Might this fit into your Morrow line? Unfortunately all I have is JUST his name. LOUISE

Hi again, I just found this after all this time. Under James Madison Morrow, he has a space where our John could possibly be his oldest son. If he was married at 18, he could have sons or daughters that were born in 1828, the same year that our Nancy Isabellah Durham who married a John Morrow, possibly from Ozark Co MO, was born. Does anyone know??? If Frances married when she was 16, she could have a son who was 20 or 22 in 1850. Julie gingerbredgirl@hotmail.com PS...I am trying not to sound to desparate!!!-LOL

Can anyone tell me who the family of Morrows' were, that were in Ozark Co MO in 1850 for the census. My delimma is, we have a supposed (sometimes name can and have been mispelled) John Morrow who married our Nancy Isabellah Durham in 1847. Her family had migrated to Ozark Co MO from Hall Co GA about 1846 or 1847. I assume she, like the other Durham children, met her spouse in Ozark or other Missouri Counties. Since it was 1847, I assume as a girl, she wouldn't have strayed far from home to find this spouse. She died in 1850. I have always assumed from childbirth. We don't know if she ever had children or where she is buried or who this John Morrow was. Can anyone help me???????? Thank you in advance!!! Julie Hamilton gingerbredgirl@hotmail.com

This is a follow-up to my recent post about needed access to Vital Records. The problem is not that the vital records cannot be accessed; they can. For a fee, the staff at the Department of Health will search for a record. If they find it, they will send a copy. Too often the response is that they found no record. I sought birth and death data re my aunt, who died before her brother, my father, was born. He told me that her given name was Mildred. I sent my money for searches and was advised that no records were found. I found her baptismal record by a different given name. It happens that the relevant records in this case were not held by the Mo. Dept. of Health, and I was able to review the hand-written birth and death records. I found her birth record by a third given name, but, by the time she died, she was indeed Mildred. A staff simply cannot locate a record under such circumstances. A researcher can, but depends on access to the data. My grandmother's maiden name was very difficult to spell. I knew the ship and arrival date of her aunt (same surname). It took me three times thru a transcription of the ship list to recognize her thoroughly-butchered name. Of course, I could not find her name in the index. I never did find her sister who was with her. My name is Doerr; in an old list, it is spelled 'Ter'. Only by searching the original records, or microforms thereof, can one find the needed data in such cases. (I guess I now have an idea as to how my ancestors pronounced our name.) The researcher has patience and incentive to find the data; any staff must depend on their imperfect indexes and the Health Department has incentive to send a 'no find' letter.

Faye...as hard as it may be to believe after more than two months of trying to find this person I received a very lengthy e-mail from her today...I do not know where she is from but her name is Shari Sisney...her email address is zzsisney@ email.msn.com.....she says she is related to the Haskins line but at this point I am unable to confirm the information that she gave me as factual....she has a correct name but I question the parentage that she says exists....she may be correct....if so.....we have another small family scandal to research....

Records at risk A number of kinds of records that are of value for family historians are often at risk because only the originals exist. Thus, they are at risk of discard as old and value-less, or of fire, storm, mold, age-related deterioration or vandalism. These include mainly school records (teachers daily records that show the names of the pupils, often their parents or guardians), bible records, sexton's records, mortuary records and church records. You may know of others. Some business records are also valuable, if only indirectly. (Fortunately, in Missouri, most courthouse records have been microfilmed, but it pays to check with the officials to be sure.) There are several ways to reduce the risk of loss of these records. These include photocopying, microfilming (with the negatives stored safely, at the LDS Family History Library in Salt Lake City or at the State Archives), photography, copying to CD or DVD, and publication in a well-distributed and well-indexed organ. By well-indexed, I mean both name-indexed within the organ and, for periodicals, indexed in Periodical Source Index (PERSI). For the present, a procedure of both publication and filming on silver (not color) film provides the most security. That way, both an image of the original and an indexed transcription is preserved. Digital recording media change so often that the records may become unavailable when the system for reading the media become obsolete and are discarded. This is to urge all those interested in family history to search for such records and to see to the protection of all those found. If you cannot make the rounds of your local courthouses and historical societies and museums, please call around, and use mail or e-mail. Judgment is needed as to where to publish. Church, school, sexton's and mortuary records are best published in a local magazine if it is indexed in PERSI. Bible records, which, by the way, do not lend themselves to microfilming, are best published in a magazine that covers the area in which the family lived, or in a magazine of regional or state-wide coverage if the family extends beyond, say, a county. I offer publication of good transcriptions in the Missouri State Genealogical Association Journal. The Journal is widely distributed, has a good annual index, and is indexed in PERSI. I can work from good photocopies or scans of the originals. There is, of course, no charge for publishing in the Journal, and submitters receive a copy of each issue in which their work appears. If a record collection is too large for publication in the Journal, I can probably help arrange for publication in book form. Bob Doerr, Editor, Missouri State Genealogical Association Journal Please see http://www.rollanet.org/~bdoerr/state.htm

Access to Records In 1910, the State of Missouri assumed the responsibility for keeping vital records. The records were kept confidential, as was proper, at least for birth records. However, some of the records are now 90 years old; it is time to place microfilms of all the birth records, with indexes, that are older than 72 years, and all of the death and other records, into the State Archives for full public access. Efforts have been made in the legislature, but the Department of Health obfuscates. The Department proposes to place on line images of the birth records 90 years or older and death records 50 years or older. That will be fine, but it is not enough. This is to urge that, during this political season, your candidates for the legislature and state senate be queried as to their positions on the matter. Owing to the Federal regulation that census data remain closed for 72 years, that interval has become a de facto standard in the USA. A 72-year interval suffices for privacy. All that is needed is to add to Sect. 193.245 of RSMO 1994 new sub-paragraphs as follows: (4) The department shall enable the State Archives to duplicate, for public access, microfilms of the following: a) all birth records that are 72 years old or older, and indexes to such records, and b) all other vital records and indexes. (5) The department shall enable, annually, the State Archives to duplicate microfilms of the following: a) all birth records that have become 72 years old or older, and indexes to such records, and b) all other vital records and indexes.
