East Friesen Roots

This is an index of surnames for obituaries that was published in the
Nachrichten from the years 1882 to 1916. The Nachrichten was a
newspaper
that was published for the Ostfriesens and obits were published in this
newspaper so it could reach all 17 of the Ostfriesen colonies to notify
friends
and family.

Will research courthouse records. There is also
marriage, birth,
naturalization and probate records available.
I can also lookup obits from the Grundy Register on Microfilm if I have
a death date
including month, day, and year.
Death records at the courthouse do NOT include the ones from 1921-1941.
They can be found
at the state level

Recently became the owner of: "Reinbeck, Iowa Centennial 1876-1976."
Divided by
topics - Blacksmiths, candy shops, milliners (sp?), furniture stores,
bakeries, saloons,
etc., etc. Each topic lists names of owners/operators/managers back
through the years.
Hundreds of names listed - but that is about it - no
