Tipton Missouri Family History Center

Our Family History Center serves an area for several central counties in Missouri surrounding the city of Tipton in Moniteau County. Surrounding counties include: Morgan, Cooper, Cole, Benton, and Miller - and we can help sometimes with counties a little farther out. We are open two days a week with computers, wireless internet access, and have consultants who can assist at other times as needed.
