Part of Genealogy Trails

Our goal is to help you track your ancestors through time by transcribing genealogical and historical data and placing it online
for the free use of all researchers. We're looking for folks who share our dedication to putting data online and are interested in helping
this project be as successful as we can make it. If you are interested in joining our group by hosting either this county website or one of
the available county websites view our Volunteer Information page and Email Kim.
A desire to transcribe data and know-how to make a basic webpage is required


Until this site has a host there is no one to answer your research questions.
We'll be adding data to this site as we can.
You can help us to get this site growing by sending in your family's data.

ANDREW COUNTY
Is bounded on the west by the Missouri and Nodaway rivers, on the south by Buchanan, and separated from the Iowa line by Nodaway County. The land is fertile and rolling-more timber than prairie. The average product of farms, is of hemp, 600 to 1000 lbs. Per acre; corn 100 bushels; wheat 40; oats 30; buckwheat 50; potatoes, onions and beets, immense crops; grapes flourish finely, producing 600-800 gallons of wine to the acre; good yields of all kinds of grasses, and most varieties of fruit. Unimproved land is held at from $2 to $6 per acre, and improved farms at from $15 to $50-in rare instances property can be purchased at lower figures. Water power has been improved, and is in use on the One-hundred and Two, the Platte and Nodaway. Savannah, the county seat, is five miles from the Missouri rivers, and twelve miles from St. Joseph.
