History of Northeast Missouri
Part of the American History and Genealogy Project

Complete Volume I of History of Northeast Missouri, listed in two sections, by the state as a whole and second by the counties. Many of the chapters listed in the state will provide county listings.  This is book contains a huge amount of information, and is divided into several sections.  The Church and County information is very informative, descriptions of roads, rivers, streams and creeks are interesting and a great place to find those locations of our ancestors that we can't find on maps. In the County Histories they are written by a different author and presented in their manner.  Sometimes it was difficult to put them together in a manner for the visitor to find the information they needed.  Some of the town and township information is incomplete and they don't always provide the information needed. There is a page with Town information added.
