Records that can be obtained at the County Recorder:

* Vital Records (Births, Marriages, Deaths):
Uncertified copies of vital records can be obtained by anyone and are less expensive, but these may NOT be provided to mail-in requests or by phone. Customers must obtain uncertified copies at the recorder's office IN PERSON. Only certified copies to entitled recipients may be issued through mail-in applicants.

Out of town researchers can contact Netha Meyer, who has volunteered to obtain county records. There is no charge for research except for actual costs such as photo-copies and postage. Though it is not necessary, if you wish to make a donation or become a member of the Iowa County Genealogical Society (ICGS), visit the ICGS Page for more information.
