Pardon our mess!

We are working to add information and make this portion of the website easier to use. In the meantime, please visit our temporary location.

In late 1876, the City of St. Louis separated from St. Louis County. The city and county have remained two totally separate governmental entities since that time, an important fact in understanding how records are titled and which ones need to be consulted. More information about the split and how it affects research.

The following is a list of online indexes and finding aids to St. Louis City and County sources held by the History and Genealogy Department.

We will perform lookups in indexed sources for free. See "Lookups and other services" for guidelines and instructions for submitting requests.
