Index To Bound Family Records |
|
The Fairfield Public Library contains thousands of genealogical files, family books, and records of one sort or another. These records are in addition to the surname to be found in our metal file and listed elsewhere on this site. The names on these pages come from "Jefferson County Index To All Family Records in the Fairfield Library". This index lists the bound records through 1998. Putting all those individual files on this web site is not possible but we have put the index on line where researchers can look for their ancestors' names and request someone to contact them about the records that are available. You may place such a request on our QUERY page. In your query give the name of the individual and the volume number and page number. You will probably receive a reply from the Jefferson County Genealogy Society within a week. To receive copies of the material you will be asked to pay a small fee for the copy and to send a large self addressed envelop.
If your family has a Jefferson County, Iowa, connections and you
have your family line developed and would like to donate a copy of it we
would be most pleased to have it in our library for other researchers to
have available. You can send it to Jan Hunerdosse
503 E. Adams
Fairfield, IA 52556
jandosse@ksdi.net
or send it by email as an attached GEDCOM file to
Bill
Rathbun.
WHAT YOU CAN FIND IN THESE PAGES??
These index pages contains the following information that can be
found on the genealogical shelves of the Fairfield Public Library -
1. Family
Sheets - These are in bound books and the index will list the husband,
his years, the wife and the
volume and page number on which that family sheet can be found. The
volume is coded by the number
and color - G = Green, B = Blue; thus G 6 mean the 6th volume in
the green books. There are other
family sheets in our file cabinet that have not yet been bound. These
names can be found elsewhere on this
web site.
2. LDS
Micro Films. The library has a few LDS micro films available.
The family for which you are
searching may be listed and in one of those micro films. Our Genealogical
Society DOES NOT research
these micro films for people but you are welcome to search these films
yourself in our library or order a copy
of the film from LDS. The LDS number of the film is listed.
3. Family
Bible information
is found primarily in the gold colored book on the genealogical shelf in
the
Fairfield Public Library. Occasionally the information can be found
in one of the LDS micro films. If so,
that is noted.
4. Family
Books - Various families have prepare family line books and have
donated copies of those books
to the library. These will normally have a number of generations
in them and could be a wealth of
information for family researchers.
5. Some data or documentation
for a particular name may be add to this site if it is sent to the County
Coordinator for inclusion to the site if approved
by the CC. All data will be linked to the particular name.
If you can not come here to research these resources, you might ask someone from the Jefferson County Genealogical Society to help you. If you do I am sure the Society would appreciate a donation to help with its work. While they volunteer their services, the gathering and publishing of this information costs them money as well as time and your gift would lighten the burden on these generous people.
Select the first initial of the surname for which you are looking.
If it is underlined that file is on line and you may access it.
