Our Genealogy Helper 
Introduction ... 
We have a couple of goals for our Gazetteer:
That it be a tool which helps us with planning our trips. 
We're trying to shape our Gazetteer as a tool to help us understand the community in which our ancestors lived, the community that was part of their daily lives. 
On our trips, we try to visit those places where our ancestors left their footprints. 
 
By learning about Loma Linda (and the surrounding area) during the time that our ancestors lived, we hope to have a better understanding of both their community and its relationship to their lifes.  We hope that this tool helps to give us an insight into their world.
As we add data and organize our Gazetteer to help with our family research, we will be adding to this our Genealogical Helper for Loma Linda.  While we don't have information that is specific to any given person or family, we intend to expand our understanding about where and how people lived.
Neighboring Counties ... 
When searching for family records, we have frequently made the mistake of not checking the neighboring counties.
For example, we have great-grandparents who lived in the northeast corner of their home county.  During their lives, most hospitals and doctors were in the next county to the east.  Almost all of the nearby churches and cemeteries were in the county to the north.
So when searching for records, we had our best success by looking in neighboring counties instead of the county in which they lived:  their home county contained property and probate records; the county to the east contained birth and death records; the county to the north contained their burial records.  If we hadn't included the neighboring counties, we would have missed many valuable sources of information.
If you're in a similar situation, we hope that the following information helps.
Loma Linda is located in Newton County .
To see how the shape of Missouri's counties have changed over time, we recommend  the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries .
The following counties adjoin and form the boundaries of Newton County : Cherokee (KS) , Barry , Jasper , Lawrence , McDonald  & Ottawa (OK) .

Footnotes ... 
<1> The location has been supplied by the Geographic Names Information System - which is maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) .  While these values should be definitive, we found that accuracy can vary and you should double-check the location if accuracy is required.  
 <2>While we're fans and frequent users of TripAdvisor, you should know that we're also members of the TripAdvisor affiliate program.  
 <3>An 'estimated' location is one where we have been given GPS coordinates, but are unable to verify the accuracy of those coordinates.  That said, we have some confidence that we have placed the marker near the actual location.  A typical reason for being unable to verify a location is that it might be on private property or maybe historic and gone without an obvious trace.  
 <4>The Find-a-Grave website is an excellent research tool with information about a cemetery's location and interments.  They also offer a forum for their members which can provide additional help.  More information about Find-a-Grave can be found on their website: findagrave.com .  
 <5>We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists.  However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now.  Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable.  If you can provide us with more specific information about Loma Linda, please let us know  so that we can improve our accuracy.  
 <6>Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' (or point-to-point) distance.  A straight line distance ignores  obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Loma Linda) to Point B. Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Loma Linda.  The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 36.9861, Longitude: -94.5919        In this case, the coordinates for Loma Linda have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
