Q. What is the IAGenWeb Project? A. We are a non-profit organization, dedicated to the principle of "Keeping Internet Genealogy Free." Our purpose is to provide useful genealogical data to amateur and professional researchers. We have hundreds of volunteers, transcribing data from a wide variety of sources, so it is all searchable and copy-and-paste-able, and find-able by search engines. We have data from census records, marriage records, cemeteries, and everything of interest to genealogists, dating back to the earliest days of Iowa settlement." We maintain websites for each of the 99 counties in Iowa, in addition to several Special Project websites. Each site has its own search engine, and is adding new data on a regular basis. The sites also have links to other sources of genealogical information, so they serve as a first go-to place for genealogists. We hope it's the first place you go when you want to find information. It is all done by volunteers, and it's free. Q. What is the USGenWeb Project?
