In 1933 and 1934, the Kansas City Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, abstracted Jackson County, Missouri, church records from 93 congregations that were known to have organized before 1875. They also made nearly 9,200 tombstone transcriptions from some 200 Jackson County pioneer grave yards, or cemeteries. This 3-volume set honors the DAR ladies, and keeps the product of their labor in print for future genealogists.
