Plans for the Abstracting of Missouri Marriages

This project is concentrating on those counties in the region often called the French Corridor. While abstracting county marriages of individuals who are citizens of neighboring counties are tallied. Those counties with the highest "crossover" are the favored targets for future abstracts.

The marriage books are being abstracted for Washington, St. Francois County, Crawford County, Franklin County and Jefferson County.
