According to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.history.com\/topics\/kansas\">History Channel Website<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Kansas,\u00a0situated on the American Great Plains, became the 34th state on January 29, 1861. Its\u00a0path to statehood was long and bloody: After the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854\u00a0opened the two territories to settlement and allowed the new settlers to determine whether the states would be admitted to the union as &#8220;free&#8221; or\u00a0&#8220;slave,&#8221; North and South competed to send the most settlers into the\u00a0region. This quickly led to violence,\u00a0and the territory became known as &#8220;Bleeding Kansas.&#8221;\u00a0Kansas has long been known as part of America&#8217;s agricultural heartland, and is home to the major U.S. military installation Fort Leavenworth. In 1954, it became a battleground of the civil rights movement when the landmark Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka case was decided in the Supreme Court, ending the doctrine of &#8220;separate but equal&#8221; in public schools. Kansas is also known for its contributions to jazz music, barbecue and as the setting\u00a0of L. Frank Baum&#8217;s classic children&#8217;s book\u00a0The Wizard of Oz.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Websites for Kansas research:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accessgenealogy.com\/kansas\/\">Access Genealogy<\/a>\u00a0&#8211; Free Data &amp; Links for Kansas<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theancestorhunt.com\/\">Ancestor Hunt<\/a> &#8211; Links to many state resources; newspapers<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.learnwebskills.com\/patriot\/countyhistories3.htm#nh\">County &amp; Town Histories for Kansas\u00a0and Other States<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cyndislist.com\/us\/ks\/\">Cyndi&#8217;s List for Kansas<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kancoll.org\/index.php\">The Kansas Collection<\/a>\u00a0[old books, letters, diaries]<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/skyways.lib.ks.us\/genweb\/kcgs\/\">Kansas Council of Genealogical Societies<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kgs-genlibrary.com\/\">Kansas Genealogical Society &amp; Online Library<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kshs.org\/portal_genealogy\">Kansas Historical Society: Genealogy<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/skyways.lib.ks.us\/genweb\/mhgs\/\">Midwest Historical and Genealogical Library<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kansas, USA, the Sunflower State 34th State; Statehood, 1861; First US Census 1860; Capital City Topeka Some family names associated with Kansas: James Frederick Dickson 1885 KS &#8211; 1948 Jacob Wolf d 1891 KS Jonathan Edward Wolf 1835 &#8211; 1920 KS History &amp; Overview.
