Welcome to Iowa Genealogy Trails!
Our goal is to help you track your ancestors through time by transcribing genealogical and historical data
and placing it online for the free use of all researchers.
We're looking for folks who share our dedication to putting data online and
are interested in helping this projectbe as successful as we can make it.
This county website is in need of a permanent host.
If you are interested joining our group as webmaster for this website,
or any of our websites, view our
Volunteer Information page
and
Email Kim.
A desire to transcribe data and know-how to make a basic
webpage is required.
