In Response To: DeYong Family (Mary Kraayenhof)

Please look at the Marion County IAGenWeb pages for information about obtaining these documents. There are two sites in particular that can help you: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~iamcgs/Research.htm and http://iagenweb.org/marion/rec.htm#court.

The more specific your request is the better luck you will have. Volunteers can not be expected to respond to general requests for "all" DeYongs.

You need to provide at least some first names and approximate dates of DeYong family members in whom you're interested. You also need to look for variant spellings (see below). I would suggest hunting for DeYongs on the Marion County website, the State Census website, and if possible in some of the federal censuses for DeYongs in Marion County. That could begin to narrow your search.

Having said that I find the following marriages in the Marriage Records of Marion County, Iowa 1845-1915 compiled by the Marion County Genealogical Society and published in 1980:

Arie DeYong and Hattie Morris 19 March 1867
Annegtjl DeYong and Jakop Hengeveld 2 May 1855
Dina DeYong and Leonard Colyn 14 Feb 1884
Jennie DeYoung and Gerrit Yelsma 3 Jan 1884
Minnie DeYoung and John Fennema 19 Apr 1888
Grietje DeJong and Seeltje Jelles Yelsma 28 May 1863

In addition there are 21 marriages of male DeJongs between 1844-1899; eight of male DeJongs between 1900-1915; and five female DeJongs between 1900-1915.
