Vital Records
Iowa Vital Records, filmed in the county court houses, and include births, deaths, and marriages from 1880 to approximately 1930, depending on the county. Many local chapters have indexed or copied their own county's records such as probate and naturalization, as well as funeral home and cemetery records. These are in print and on the shelves.
Other States: Published Vital Records from other states, as well as church, land, tax, and cemetery records; county histories with genealogies; and town records.
