[Genealib] new St. Louis online genealogy index

[stlden1 at aol.com]

Recently the Missouri History Museum launched the Genealogy and Local 
History Index -- http://www.mohistory.org/genealogy -- which includes 
references to hundreds of thousands of our St. Louis ancestors. In this 
index, you can search by personal name, business/corporate name, or 
street address. (The latter search option is designed primarily for 
those researching the history of their home and its former residents.) 
You can also sign up for our email list to receive monthly announcements 
of new sources that are added to the index.





BEFORE SEARCHING, PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO READ THE IMPORTANT SEARCH TIPS!





Among the more than 225 sources in the Genealogy and Local History Index 
are the following: more than 5,000 Civil War-era loyalty oaths signed by 
St. Louisans; many high school and other school yearbooks from the first 
half of the 20th century; local Who's Who publications; company employee 
magazines; a few mid-19th-century, nonfederal St. Louis-area censuses; 
questionnaires filled out by World War I servicemen; records and 
publications relating to Civil War veterans; and much more.





Please note that the Genealogy and Local History Index is an INDEX to 
selected books, publications, documents, and photographs in the holdings 
of the Missouri History Museum Library and Research Center. You cannot 
view a digital image of the actual source online. If you find references 
in the index that interest you, you can request a photocopy online. 
(Copies will be mailed in 1-2 business days.)





Please also visit our new Family History--Get Started page --- 
http://www.mohistory.org/lrc/family-history/get-started --- to learn 
about additional catalogs, guides, and indexes.
