Iowa Genealogy Tips From Our Crash Course Webinar
Posted by Diane
Although the state of Iowa draws its name from the Ioway tribe of American
Indians, it was also a home to colonists from New France, as
well as farmers who made it part of the Corn Belt.
Whether your Iowa ancestors were European explorers or arrived with
westward settlers, our upcoming Iowa
Genealogy Crash Course webinar by Diana Crisman Smith and Gary
Smith will answer all your questions about Hawkeye State heritage.
Diana and Gary let slip these "preview" tips from the webinar to
share with you:
• Iowa is the 29th state, attaining statehood in
December 1846. Birth and marriage records began in 1880 and death
records in 1891. There are some online indexes (and even record
images) you can use from home—at least to get enough information
to request original records. We'll help you use these online
sources, and tell you where to go for the originals.
• Iowa is one of the lucky states with great state censuses. In
the webinar, we'll talk about when they were taken, what
information they include, where to find them, and how to use them.
You'll see examples of one of the greatest censuses in the country
(in our opinions:) and the three pages of information on each
enumerated individual.
• Land has always been one of Iowa's most important assets. The
first sale of most land was from the federal government to
individuals. Using the Bureau
of Land Management's General Land Office database and other
sources, we'll show you how to find land records and what they
mean to your research.
• The Iowa Genealogical
Society is large and active. We'll have some tips on
researching using the society's library in Des Moines. If you have
Iowa roots, this is one society you should join.
The Iowa
Genealogy Crash Course webinar takes place Tuesday, Oct. 30 at
7 p.m. ET (that's 6 p.m. CT, 5 p.m. MT and 4 p.m. PT). Once you're
registered, you'll receive access to view the recorded webinar again
as many times as you want, a PDF copy of the presentation slides and
12 pages of additional handouts that'll help you find Iowa
ancestors.
