Now it's your turn to "snoop" thru this website and see what I can "snoop" out for you.

The following is a list of Iowa Census available by year/by county.

Let me "snoop" thru vast collection of Iowa newspapers published in each Iowa county on microfilm - late 1800's to present.

Let me "snoop" thru microfilm rolls of courthouse records including land records, Iowa county records; births and death records from 1880-1925, marriage records beginning when county was organized to 1925. Also will check delayed births.

Thanks for stopping by. I have over 35 years experience as a professional researcher at the Iowa State Historical Library and Iowa Genealogical Society Library. Reasonable rates. Contact me if questions or need help with your Iowa family research.
