Iowa has a rockin' state census. The 1925 census is a dream for genealogists, with questions on parents, religion, education, marriage, for every member of the household. Let's see how we can help work through though tough Iowa research problems.

Think she may be looking for a lookup but who knows.

Thank you Brenda. Yes I checked FAG and IA Gen-Web. The only Dunn's I found were Patick's son James and James' wife Mary. Must say I'm a bit confused. Patick's death cert. says he was buried in Weldon, Decatur, IA and FAG lists Green Bay Cemetery in Clarke Co. I'm wondering if the county lines changed?

I have the book: "Runnells: 1881-1981" and can do look-ups. It covers the pioneer families of the Runnells, Polk, Iowa area.

Shirley, did you check find-a-grave? or the WIGenWeb for that county? or raogk.org might have a volunteer.

Good Morning! Does anyone live near the Green Bay Cemetery in Weldon, Iowa? I didn't find it online. My g-grandfather is buried there and I want to check on the rest of the family and for any cemetery records. He's Patrick Henry Dunn. Thanks...

I'm looking for anyone researching a John E. FRY who lived in Story County, Iowa and served in the Civil War. He was born in 1842 and died in 1925. I recently obtained his CW pension file and realized it wasn't the John Fry I had been looking for. If anyone is researching him and his wife Elizabeth Belcher and their children which number 11 please contact me as I'd like someone to have the file that can use it. I'd also like to be reimbursed for the cost. If I'd known it wasn't the right guy OR that it would be over 100 pages I wouldn't have ordered it but you don't know that ahead of time unfortunately.

Thanks

Most of my family came from Marion County, Iowa and Sioux County, Iowa. I am originally from South Dakota, but now live in Harrison County, Iowa. If they are Dutch, I'm probably related to them. Sharon
