| DCL |
Daviess County Library in
Gallatin, Missouri. The library has
transcriptions to 83 cemeteries--an excellent
source for transcriptions. Unique to the library
is an index by Cynthia Robinson to these 83
cemeteries which is helpful as a starting point
when the cemetery of an ancestor is unknown. (A
word of caution: the index has errors and
discrepancies from the transcriptions.) The
librarian also has a packet listing all
genealogical resources of the library; the last
page of this packet is a hard-to-read but fairly
accurate map showing cemetery locations in the
county. |
| SHS |
State
Historical Society of Missouri library in
Columbia, Missouri. The library has 6 volumes of
DAR transcriptions found in the DAR section,
Daviess County, numbers 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10
published respectively in 1970, 1972, 1973, 1974,
1975, and 1976. In the counties section, the SHS
has 4 books on Daviess County cemeteries
including Ellsberry's two-volume work, Grand
River and Clear Creek cemeteries updated through
1990 and the DAR's 1963 Creekmore, Rogers, and
Johnson cemetery transcriptions. Finally, Volume
31 of the Missouri--Cemetery reference wall
contains the DAR 1971 volume with additional
cemeteries bringing the total number of unique
cemetery transcription holdings to 85. |
| DARL |
Daughters of the American
Revolution Library in Washington, D.C.. These are
conclusions drawn from searching the online card
catalog and matching them with the 6
aforementioned DAR volumes at the SHS. Therefore,
these are confident guesses rather than
confirmations. Also listed was volume two of
Ellsberry. These transcriptions are not available
for loan or purchase, but DAR members and non-DAR
members (for a nominal fee) are welcome at the
library. See their website for details. |
