The MOGenWeb Project

    In July and August of 1996, a group of genealogists organized the Missouri Comprehensive Genealogy Database. The idea was to provide a single entry point for all counties in Missouri, where collected databases would be stored. In addition, the databases would be indexed and cross-linked, so that even if an individual were found in more than one county, they could be located in the index.

    At the same time, volunteers were found who were willing to coordinate the collection of databases and generally oversee the contents of the web page.

    My name is Barbra and I am the person responsible for Harrison County. If you would like to contribute your information to this page, please let me know. If you would like to host a Missouri county, contact Larry Flesher, who is the Missouri state coordinator.
