LOOK-UPS
If you need to consult a reference that you don't have access
to, check below. There may be a volunteer willing to look it up
for you. To request a lookup, please follow these simple
guidelines:
- Put DES MOINES COUNTY LOOKUP in the subject line and the
NAME OF THE SOURCE or SURNAME on the first line of your
message. Many volunteers have offered to do lookups from more
than one source and in more than one county. This will insure
that your request is not overlooked.
- Follow with the specific information you are looking for—one
simple request per e-mail—and please do not ask for "everybody
with X surname," or for hard copies to be mailed. Also, please
comply with any additional restrictions listed by the
volunteer
- After receiving a response to your lookup request, remember
to send a thank you to the volunteer who helped you out!

The Des Moines County, Iowa Lookups Page needs more volunteers
who are willing to do lookups in their own resources or at their
local libraries. If you own or have access to any Des Moines
County information (such as census, cemetery, marriage, newspaper
abstracts, etc.) and would be willing to do lookups for other
researchers, then please contact
me. Let me know what books you have, and I will put
you on the lookup page. It's a great to way to make genealogical
