Reclaim the Records has uploaded new
Birth Records for Missouri:
Missouri Birth Index,
1920(ish)-2015
"They tried to charge us $1.5
million for a public records
request.
Then they decided to ignore the
state Sunshine
Law altogether."
There were some Vital Record Indexes on
the old Bollinger County Site:
They have, for
the most part, been reformatted for easier
searching.
If, for some
reason an old email addy shows up, be
advised that it will not work as the old
files had not been updated for more than
10 years.
I wish to thank
all the former Volunteers for their
contributions.
