This is the third volume in the series of Missouri genealogical records and abstracts compiled by the author as a result of her search for her French ancestor, Achille Godin (or Gaudin). The records in this volume cover the period from 1787 to 1839, which is a frustrating period for the Missouri/Arkansas researcher, because the area changed hands so frequently. The French claimed the region in the name of King Louis XIV, then gave "Louisiana" to the Spanish, who returned the land to the French forty-one years later; shortly thereafter, the French sold it to the United States in the Louisiana Purchase. This volume is a comprehensive collection of various typed of records from forty-three counties: tax lists, marriage records, cemetery records, marriage licenses, public securities, court cases and fines, loan office reports, lot purchases, and a sampling of obituaries and wills are some of the records the reader will encounter in this volume. The surname index includes "dit" names (aliases), which were commonly used by the French, and contains over four thousand entries. This volume covers the following counties: Adair, Arkansas, Audrain, Benton, Boone, Buchannon, Callaway, Cape Girardeau, Chariton, Clay, Cole, Cooper, Greene, Howard, Jackson, Jasper, Johnson, Lafayette, Laclede, Lincoln, Macon, Madison, Marion, Monroe, Montgomery, Morgan, Newton, New Madrid, Osage, Perry, Pettis, Ralls, Ray, Ripley, Saline, Scott, St. Francois, St. Louis, Ste. Genevieve, Stoddard, Sullivan and Van Buren (or Cass) County.

This amazing compilation contains the records of 16,000 marriages from fifty-one Missouri counties formed before 1840. The majority of the marriage records in this work were copied from the original marriage books on file in various county courthouses. Others were copied from previously published compilations; some were copied from both sources. All Missouri counties with marriage records prior to 1840 are covered except St. Louis County and City, which have been adequately covered elsewhere. The marriages listed here are arranged in alphabetical sequence by the surname of the groom. A bride's index at the back of the book contains the names of all 16,000 women mentioned in the marriage records.
