Genealogy and History Records and Information for Poweshiek County, Iowa.
Welcome to the Poweshiek County Iowa webpage, a part of the IAGenWeb Project, in conjunction with the USGenWeb Project. My name is Bob Parker and I am your County Coordinator. Please send me your comments, to rmp@parkersolutions.com .
We Appreciate Volunteers like Marilyn Holmes! In the past few weeks, Marilyn Holmes has sent us a great many transcribed Obituaries that she has gleaned from several sites, including the wonderful Web files of the Stewart Library of Grinnell. Her work makes them easy to find and read. Check the files at our IAGenWeb Obits Board, below.
Thank you, Marilyn!
Can you help us improve our online records? If you'd like to try, contact me. Bob Parker

Founded in 1978, the Society at Montezuma is dedicated to providing historical and genealogical information about people, places and events in Poweshiek County's past. They have an extensive library of historical documents, books and records and will perform searches both there and at the Court House for a small fee.
The Society has recently moved into a spacious building that was for many years the Carnegie Library at Montezuma. This location will provide much more space for many more activities and programs.
