Today at FreeSurnameSearch.com * Featured Database : - Western States Marriage Records Index. Over the past decade, the BYU-Idaho Family History Center has been extracting early marriage records from counties in the western part of the United States. Virtually all of the pre-1900 marriages are included in the index for Arizona, Idaho and Nevada. Many Idaho and Utah counties have been extracted into the 1930's and some, much later. A significant number of marriages from selected counties in California, western Colorado, Montana, Oregon, Utah, eastern Washington, and Wyoming are also included. Very early marriages (1700's) in New Mexico are currently being added. As of June 3, 2007, this file contains over 500,888 marriage records with additional entries being added nearly every working day. * New Links : - Divorces in Clatsop County, Oregon 1850 to 1913 - Wayne County, Georgia 1840 Census - 1913 Chattanooga City, Hamilton County, Tennessee Death Records.

Go to: http://genmarket.com/cgi-bin/links/jump.cgi?ID=4230 * The German Element in St. Louis (Book - Genealogical.com) : As a result of the nineteenth-century German emigration to the United States, St. Louis, Missouri, along with Milwaukee and Cincinnati, would become constituted as the great "German triangle" of the Midwest. In 1893, Ernst Kargau, a reporter and editor for various German-American newspapers, published a German language commemorative history of St. Louis' German population entitled St. Louis in Former Years. Kargau's urban memoir constitutes one of the best snapshots we have of culture and society in a German-American community on the eve of World War I. In the 1940s, William Bek translated Kargau's book into English; however, Bek's translation lay in obscurity at the University of Missouri-Columbia for more than a half-century. Now, thanks to the efforts of Dr. Don Heinrich Tolzmann, who has secured the permission of the University and edited the Bek manuscript, we are able to make Kargau's excellent history widely available under the new title The German Element in St. Louis.
