Formation and Demographics
Ralls County was formed, 1821 from Pike County and was named after Daniel Ralls, Missouri legislator.
Ralls is bounded by Pike, Audrain, Monroe, & Marion Counties, and the Mississippi River. Ralls is very much a rural county, the 1990 Census showing a population of 8,476. The county seat is New London, Missouri.
The town of Hannibal straddles Ralls County & Marion County; location of the Mark Twain Memorial Bridge, and the boyhood home of "Mark Twain".
A little further north, and then east across the Mississippi River, and you will be in Quincy, Illinois, the largest metropolis of the area.

Frontier Families of Missouri from the Upper Louisiana Territory
This database is based upon the PIONEER FAMILIES OF MISSOURI, by Bryan and Rose. It consists of early tax lists, Spanish land grants, census records, military records, and extractions from the HISTORY OF MISSOURI by Louis Houck. This is an on-going project with periodic updates. There are over 20,000 linked families as of July 1999. Coordination of data entry was done by the HANCOCK FAMILY ORGANIZATION, descendants of William Hancock who settled in St. Charles County in 1797.

In March and April, 1996, a group of genealogists organized
the Kentucky Comprehensive Genealogy Database Project. The idea was to provide
a single entry point for all counties in Kentucky, where collected databases
would be stored. This grew into a project for the entire United States,
and subsequently for the World. Missouri joined the project in July of
1996, and is now over two years old.
Volunteers were found who were willing to coordinate the collection of databases
and generally oversee the contents of the county web pages. Even though today
most (certainly not all) counties are covered, ongoing projects such as the
Census Transcription Project and the Tombstone Project continue to need
volunteers; counties continue to need volunteers for lookups, and the
Archives continue to need donated data and transcribers.
