Did you know that St. Charles was Missouri’s first capital city? That Daniel Boone and Lewis and Clark have ties to the city? The history of St. Charles goes back hundreds of years, and the society’s website may help you discover your own ancestors’ stories. Through examples of his personal research, Greg Hilton, member of the SCCHS, will show how using the society’s website can point you to some amazing original records.
