If anyone is interested, this is a site you might want to check out, it's Pre-1910 Birth and Death Records Database. You can select the County you want and enter a name or just a portion of the surname like Be (Bequette) or just leave the surname blank and it will pull up all the names. On the right if you click on Detail, it will give you the parent's name and where they were born, etc. It starts around 1884. There are some Old Mines surnames. _http://www.sos.mo.gov/archives/resources/birthdeath/_ (http://www.sos.mo.gov/archives/resources/birthdeath/) Sharon (Hartzell) Smith Arnold, Jefferson County, MO.
