This is a fantastic place to do family research. The libraries holdings make it well worth the trip. If you are looking for family in Missouri or other states they have the resources to help. They have All available U.S. federal population census schedules 1790 - 1930, including Soundex/Miracode indexes. They have reference books for the states. You don't need to have ancestors from Missouri to benefit from this library, it is well worth the trip for the census of every state alone. They also have classes to help you start or learn more on how to do genealogy. The next class being offered according to their website is June 24, 2010, Thursday at 7:00 PM
Finding Your Pioneer Ancestor along the Oregon-California Trails you can register for this class as well as the others by going to their website. They have the Kansas City Star and Times Newspaper and the Independence Examiner newspaper. You really must come to this library when in the area. Their website is

I have used this facility for many years to do research. The books of the different county histories from all over the US as well as the cemetery books from MO have been a great help for me in my research. I highly recommend you use this resource.
