Saline County Missouri

The Saline County site contains references to many email addresses that are no longer valid. These are not removed, since you never know if it’s a temporary server problem, or if the address truly has been abandoned.

If you are trying to contact someone who submitted records or is listed as a researcher for a surname you, too, are interested in, the most current information I have is already on the site.

Also, be sure to check the syntax of the email address. Many of the addresses have been “munged” in an attempt to keep them from being harvested by spammers. If the email address is “george AT gmail DOT com”, replace the word “AT” with the “@” sign, and the word “DOT” with a period.

At present, the best way to do this is to go to Find A Grave. People from all over the country volunteer to do just that.

First, check to see if there is already a memorial for your ancestor by searching the Find A Grave database. If a memorial has been created, you may find that a photo has already been posted. If not, you can request one from the memorial page. The request screen will let you know how many volunteers are in that area.

If you do not find a memorial for your ancestor, you can create one and then request a photo. Find the appropriate cemetery by searching the Find A Grave cemetery database. They currently have listings for about 100 Saline County cemeteries.

You can add notes and information to your photo requests. If you know the plot or section, this can be very helpful for large cemeteries.

You can also check to see if there is a volunteer registered at Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness. As of this writing, there are no volunteers who have signed up to take cemetery photos in Saline County. However, the membership is very fluid. Check back often to see if the situation has changed.

Please do not use these resources to try to determine where someone is buried — get as many facts as you can first. It is very discouraging to spend an afternoon looking for a burial that isn’t there, or even in the same county.
