Author: Schweitzer, George K, PhD, ScD
Publishing Information: Self-Published (1997)
General Statement: George K Schweitzer, PhD, ScD has written a great number of genealogy research methodology books that have been very well received. This one is no different.
Review:
This book was written in 1997 and there is a brief one-page discussion on Internet resources for Missouri research. The actual URLs may have changed, for example: Anne Hood’s MO Page Site is now located at https://sites.rootsweb.com/~mogenweb/surpage/ahmolink.htm rather than the site listed in the book.
Note: Much of what the book covers can be located on the ‘Missouri’ Wiki page on the familysearch.org website which is very detailed. https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Missouri,_United_States_Genealogy , however, if you prefer to read from a book rather than the internet this book may work well for you.
The step-by-step approach checklist on page 154 may be helpful.
Chapters:
Missouri Background
o Interesting waterway network maps, early Missouri settlement area maps, and several maps of the various Missouri counties.
o Includes recommended readings some of which I was able to locate online such as his ‘next step’ for a more detailed Missouri history, “Historic Missouri: A Pictorial Narrative”, Compiled by The State Historical Society of Missouri, 140 pages, which I was able to read online at www.jstor.org with a free account.
o Good information on migration from other states.
Types of Records
o Details common types of records and includes information on regional publications and WPA works.
o Information on major record repositories.
o There are an interesting couple of pages on manuscripts
that I did not find on the Missouri Wiki, however, the
Wiki does cover the repositories so with some digging
you can probably find more information.
Record Locations
o You can probably locate much of what is included in this
chapter with an internet search or on the many online
databases such as Ancestry.com, Heritage Quest,
familysearch.org, etc.
Research Procedure & County Listings
o Step-by-step procedures for Missouri research which
include 1) Finding the County; 2) Research approaches
which includes a step-by-step checklist.
o The rest of the book gives details on county formation
dates and lists the records that are held by each county.
