Family Search "Collections"
There is a wealth of Family and Historical information contained on the FamilySearch WebSite.
It can be overwhelming to figure out where to start.
So, I have created concentrated categories of databases which are accessible Here

Cemeteries, Etc [Burial, Cemeteries, Coroner, Funeral Homes, Graves]
Church Records [ Baptism's, Catholic Church, Christenings, Church [General]]
Legal Documents and Resources [Court, Estate, Probate Records]
Migration - Naturalization - Travel [ Border Crossings, Migration, Naturalization, Passenger Lists, Passports]
Military [Bounty [Land], Military [Misc], Pensions, Soldiers, Veteran's, War[s]]
Odds and Ends [Applications, Homestead, Membership, Native Americans, Parish [Location & Church], Pioneers, Prison, Voting, Obituaries, Veteran & Soldier's Homes, Children's Home]
Vital Records [Birth, Marriage, Divorce, Death, Mortality Records]
<><>
"Ancient Faces"
This was a project unique to the MOGenWeb. I have found this type of information on other County Pages.
However, the format used for the construction of the pages does not lend it self to clean-up very well.
Additionally, since the contributions are, for the most part well over 10 years old, the contact email addies are invalid.
So, here is the index page in searchable pdf format.

Please use the system below to locate the photos.
Use the index page to find a person or family of interest, note the names, then go to the directory for the images.
All of the images were named: lastfirstand... - no punctuation
