I'm just an amateur genealogist, but here are some free Missouri records. They've been of help to me.

Missouri Digital Heritage : Death Records Certificates
Missouri Digital Heritage : Birth and Death Records
Missouri Digital Heritage : Soldiers' Records: War of 1812 - World War I
Missouri Digital Heritage: Collections : Land Patents: 1831 - 1969
Naturalization Records, 1816 - 1955
http://www.sos.mo.gov/archives/naturalization/
You can't see the records here, but this will show you what records a certain county has.
http://www.sos.mo.gov/CountyInventory/

Greene county Records
http://thelibrary.springfield.missou...rds/index.html
http://thelibrary.springfield.missou...ory/index.html

Shows which counties have census' for different years.
http://www.sos.mo.gov/archives/resources/census.asp
There is no 1890 Missouri census.

Polk City
http://www.hannibal.lib.mo.us/citydirectories.htm

Missouri Judicial Records

Civil War Documents
http://cdm.sos.mo.gov/cdm4/browse.ph...=%2Fwhmccivwar

Coroner's Inquest Database
http://www.sos.mo.gov/archives/resources/coroners/

Here you can find a microfilm you need and order a copy of it
http://www.sos.mo.gov/archives/resou...unty/croll.asp

Land Records (you can find out what land records Missouri has, but they're not available for search online)
http://www.sos.mo.gov/archives/resources/land.asp


Lots of interesting stuff here, as well:

Missouri Digital Heritage : Collections (http://www.sos.mo.gov/mdh/collections.asp - broken link)

Enjoy!

Also, from my understanding, the death records have to be 50 years old before they will be put online for free. I would assume sometime in 2010, the 1959 death records will be put up.

Don't overlook the Missouri Gen Web site. http://www.mogenweb.org. From there you can go to each individual Missouri county. Some are better than others but all have some resources that may be helpful.

Here are some Pulaski Co., MO Obits as well

Pulaski County, Missouri Obituaries

I don't know who put them up there, but they may come in handy to some.

Lightbulb What a great sticky thread!

The genealogical societies can be of such help, too! Here's a page that lists all the societies in MO, census help and so much more...

Since both sides of my family came from MO these have been great resources. I particularly like the soldiers database which enables you to see all the individuals in a particular military unit for the various conflicts back to the War of 1812.

Missouri is awesome for having online records. I wish more states would take their lead.
