WELCOME to Mesa County, Colorado. My name is Betty, and I'm your county coordinator. This web site was created to help you with your genealogy research. I hope you find many pleasant surprises as you browse the pages. I will be adding new information on a regular basis, so be sure to check back often. If you have any old letters, documents, yearbooks or even old photos, I would be thrilled to publish them here. If you would like to volunteer to do look-ups or transcribe information, please let me know. I don't live in the area, so won't be able to do research for you. I have a personal interest in the area, as my great-grandparents came to this area in 1885. |
