| The Early Families of Newton County Missouri |
|
|
Some families know a great deal about their roots; others know very little. I hope
this story is an encouragement to some who have been searching for their family history without success. I have started
and stopped many times during the past 13 years. I am glad that I did not completely stop looking.
Since I was not initially successful in
my search for the family member that created my interest, I started looking for other sides of the family with some success.
I also became intrigued with the many connections of the families in my hometown and the surrounding area. There are many
families who have lived in Southwest
Missouri for over 170 years.
If you are interested in how my search is progressing,
look at the page for Alojsius Micsak. It has been frustrating and fun at the same time. When you have success, you forget
the frustration.

My other interest is the families of
Newton
County, Missouri
who lived around Seneca.
Newton County was formed from Barry County
on December 30, 1838. The county was named after John Newton, a Revolutionary Solider.
I am
in the process of collecting information about schools in the area around Seneca along with pictures. If you have anything
you would like to contribute, please let me know.
