Looking at the Saline Co highway map, Petra used to be northwest of Slater -- nr Rds NN & C. Afraid I don't know the history of it right now, other than a greatuncle was born there in 1874.

Anybody know where the ghost town of Petra was located in Saline county? Maybe near Slater? I understand the post office operated from 1842-1878. Mike Flannigan

First the National Archives keeps Federal records not state. Missouri does have it's own State Archives Office. I went to their website and did a search and found they do have microfilm of naturalization dockets, etc. so I imagine it would be there. http://msa.library.net/TLCScripts/interpac.dll?LabelDisplay&DataNumber=4188897&DB=1&FormId=338-14707&ItemField=1&Config=990019&Branch=0 if that link doesn't take you there directly go to here: http://www.sos.mo.gov/archives/resources/ordb.asp and choose Archive Online Catalog and searc on naturalization. There is also some pre 1909 births/deaths there. Hope this helps :)

Joanna: I don't know whether I can help a whole lot. The person I was helping (I live in California and she lives in Illinois) had a copy of her gr grandfather's naturalization letter (he came from Canada to Saline County, Missouri). She wanted to find the original - and here in California the naturalization files are kept within each state's Recorders office - I didn't know about Missouri. I was told that they are kept at the National Archives in Missouri (they said no) and at the County - which is where she went - and did not find it. My part in this is that the person whose record she wanted to find was married to my great grandfather's sister so I was a bit removed from the person himself.

Karren, I'm Karen. You would not believe how much info there is available re: Indian land or land records in general. Also, check The library of Congress.

Could someone please look up an obit for Juanita Russell who was born 1912 and died 1991. I think she was in Marshall state home most of her life. She married Noble Oren Russell who was also an inmate and he died in 1968. Thanks so much, Vicki Ayo

Genealogists, particularly those interested in the use of technology, will meet in St. Louis from 22-24 January 2004 for NGS GENTECH 2004. December 1 is the deadline for the "early bird" registration discount. Since 1993, GENTECH has been the national conference for people interested in GENealogy and TECHnology. In 2002 GENTECH strengthened its infrastructure and expanded its role by becoming a division of the National Genealogical Society. Each year the conference has featured a panel of nationally known speakers who have addressed themselves to every aspect of the use of computer and Internet technology to support genealogical research - to meet the needs of advanced users as well as those just beginning to use technology in their research. This year there will be a special Librarian's Pre-Conference at NGS GENTECH Thursday, January 22, 2004.

I found a great website with old Missouri Newspapers you can search online. Among the newspapers is the St. Louis Christian Advocate published by the Methodist Episcopal Church South. I'm not sure how late it was publlished but might have been published then since they merged and became United Methodist in 1939(I think). Any way it's worth searching all the papers there since your relative could have shown up in a newspaper for some reason. Here's the link: http://newspapers.umsystem.edu/Default/Client.asp?skin=MISSOURIA&AW=10668488 85031 Good Luck, Karren A.

Are there any old church records available at the library or online? I am trying to locate baptismal records for several of my Baldus family members who were born in the area. I find it strange that the oldest children and the very youngest had middle names but not those in the middle. I have found some records in St. Clair County, Illinois and am hoping to locate more in Saline County. I have found them in the Catholic Church records although only the family was not Catholic. Specifically I am looking for the following individuals born in Saline County, Missouri. Cora Baldus, born June 30, 1892 Fred Baldus, born June 09, 1893 Many thanks. Conni Mitchell Braun

There is an article listed on the following URL which shows those men who served with Sterling "Pap" Price in both Saline and Pettis Counties. http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/missouri/pettis/article_1960.shtml

Looking for information on Mary Eliza Nation Haggard, died in childbirth in December 1889. Probably in Marshall or Sweet Springs. Not sure where she was born. Was married to Gentry Willis Haggard. Mother of William, Henry and Harley. This is all we know. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Shelly Chance Galloway

I am hoping to locate birth/baptism records for the following individuals. They were all born in the Saline County area and I believe were Catholic but could have belonged to another denomination at this time. I specifically interested in learning if any had middle names. The older children do and the youngest but not the middle children which I find strange. I believe they were given middle names but didn't use them. Cora Baldus born June 30, 1892 Fred Baldus born June 09, 1893 Many thanks. Conni Mitchell Braun

Is there someone listening on line that could do a marriage lookup at the library in Marshall? I haven't subscribed to this list for several months as we have moved from MO to AZ, but seems like someone by the name of Darla was a big help. This is the marriage I am looking for: Robert William Copeland to Alice Neubauer. My guess is that they were married between 1910-1915. Any help would be appreciated. Sheila = djgenser@cox.net
