Welcome to... Randolph County, Missouri Part of Genealogy Trails
County Host: Available for Adoption State Host: Linda Rodriguez Hello and welcome to the Genealogy Trails website for Randolph County, Missouri. As we believe all data should be without cost, our goal at Genealogy Trails 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. This is a continuation of our original, and highly successful, Genealogy Trails Illinois History and Genealogy Project and we are excited about this opportunity to expand into other states. We welcome your feedback and comments, and of course, your data contributions. We're looking for folks who share our dedication to putting data online and are interested in helping this project be as successful as our Illinois websites are. If you think you might be interested in joining our group, view our Volunteer Page for further information and email Kim. You are welcome to browse the information on these pages and at the many links provided to garner the data needed to continue your research into your family history. However, Please remember that this information, in many cases, represents years of painstaking research on the part of myself, or the many generous volunteers who have donated their information to this site. You can show your respect for these efforts by not taking things to use on other websites and/or to claim as your own. I thank you in advance for your consideration. County History Randolph County was organized January 22, 1829 with four original townships of Sugar Creek, Silver Creek, Prairie and Salt Spring. The county was named after John Randolph, statesman from Virginia. Later townships of Moniteau, Jackson, Chariton, Cairo, Clifton and Union were organized, Prairie being the largest. The County Seat is Huntsville. Moberly, called "Magic City" since it seemed to spring up out of the prairie overnight, is the largest city in Randolph county with a population of 11,945 in 2000. The county has rich farm land, coal deposits and is diverse in farming operations and livestock. Randolph County, in particular Moberly grew quickly from 1866 to 1873 due to the Wabash, Chariton and Randolph railroad connecting with the North Missouri Railroad Company at Moberly. Randolph County was part of Howard County from 1816 until 1820. Chariton County was formed and Randolph became part of that county until it became an independent county in 1829.   I regret that I am unable to do personal research. All data we come across will be added to this site. We thank you for visiting and hope you'll come back again to view the updates we make to this site.
