Smelser/Smeltzer in the Missouri Census and Tax Lists
1870 Missouri Census Index
If anybody already has these census copies, I would appreciate it if you would send them to me through e-mail so I can put up the actual census information. If not, the first time I have free time at the Archives, I will get the information and put it up. **Thanks to Brenda Dunaway Langston for this index**
