Coordinator Notes: If you're looking for help with your family history research in Washington County, Iowa, you've come to the right place. We're committed to providing you with  free, online genealogical data and resources, including links to other fine websites.

You can help us make this a valuable resource. Post queries, bios, obits, and docs on the boards. Transcribe records, send us copies of old photos or newspaper articles, share your family histories and research tips, or serve as a lookup volunteer. Whatever you can give will be deeply appreciated by us and by our other visitors.

Norma currently is not doing research and is only maintaining the website and accepting submissions for inclusion on the website. She and Marcia Arn are now working on transcribing the 1925 Washington census so watch for updates.  For research assistance, please use the library address at: 

 genealogy@washington.lib.ia.us 

or post a query on the query page or mailing list for assistance. Members of the Washington County Genealogical Society have access to all that is available on Washington County and are great helpers.  Janet's pet project is looking up obituaries and photographing gravestones when time permits but please be patient as she is a busy lady.


 

Washington County Historical Society

has been featuring township and country school histories in their free monthly newsletter that is on line. Although this is off site, this is such a valuable resource and excellently complements the IaGenWeb site that it deserves our attention and a prominent reference from our site. The township histories are being published in alphabetical order beginning with Brighton in the Sept. 2009 issue.
