Below is a sample of a family biography included in the Schuyler County, Missouri History published in 1910 by Swanson and Ford.  These biographies are valuable for genealogy research in discovering missing ancestors or filling in the details in a family tree. Family biographies often include far more information than can be found in a census record or obituary.  Details will vary with each biography but will often include the date and place of birth, parent names including mothers' maiden name, name of wife including maiden name, her parents' names, name of children (including spouses if married), former places of residence, occupation details, military service, church and social organization affiliations, and more.  There are often ancestry details included that cannot be found in any other type of genealogical record.

MARVIN MONROE VEATCH, son of John and Mandy Melvina Veatch who still live in this county, was born on a farm near Monterey, Iowa, August 13, 1861. He resided in this vicinity until about 1872, when he moved with his parents to the old Mitchell farm where they lived four years, after which they moved to a farm two and a half miles from Glenwood. Being at this time a good sized boy, Mr. Veatch went to work for A. J. Tisdale and worked for him about ten years. In 1885 Mr. Veatch purchased forty acres of the old Leeper farm, paying ten dollars per acre. He now owns 100 acres of well improved land worth probably sixty dollars per acre, where he pays special attention to raising corn and feeding hogs. Mr. Veatch takes just pride in a very fine cement cave, and an excellent well of cool, clear water that he has put on his farm. Mr. Veatch was married April 14, 1889, to Miss Dollie A. Gray, daughter of Jacob Gray, who lived just across the line in Iowa. To them were born three children. Elva May, who is nineteen years of age, is now Mrs. Andrews and has one child. Marion Lemuel died of pneumonia and typhoid fever five years ago. Vera Elda, the youngest, is now four years of age. In politics Mr. Veatch is a Republican. Mrs. Veatch has been a member of Liberty Methodist church for fifteen years.
