We are so lucky both these states have been updated
and kept in good shape though they need help with many counties.
My family in the not far distant pass came from Iowa
and much current family still lives there.
My hope this next trip is to visit their archives in
Des Moines.
Most of my husband’s family still is here, enjoying
the snow and grumbling at the lack of rain in the summer. HA HA HA
I have many 2nd cousins that reside in
this state. Soy Beans and
Corn and Hogs and Cattle and Chickens are very
prevalent there.
The Ledges is a beautiful park. The longest rail
bridge is in this state. It is
also the highest.
It is a state of flat land, man does it have lots of
that for the corn and beans and other grains they grow. The southwest corner is
a bit craggly and filled with many ravines. There is a good chance the nw is the same. The eastern seems mostly grain fields. I keep flying over this part.
Lots of family down below I could wave to.

The picture above does not do the park justice,
the different color of the ledges
is magnificent.
My husband was born in this county. I have been to the Kate Shelly High
Bridge in 1970. IT is being
replaced but still named the same.

Birth Records were started in 1880 and marriage
records very greatly. Death
records 1880 mostly but not always kept.
A neat feature for Iowa Genweb is the Lookup Cities
and Towns.
Another neat feature that cuts down my writing is
the sourcing of links they provide on their site.
Genealogy Search Engines and Category’s are here.
They still use the Books we Own site for sharing knowledge.
I have found much help using this site since the
early 1990’s.
Locating cousins, close cousins, and many distant
ones also.

Having gone to google and put in Iowa Genealogical Societies
You
will come up with enough links to occupy you for a week to a month or
year.
A great
book is the one written by George Schweitzer on Iowa research if you can find
one. I believe he retired four or more years ago.
