Probate Records Index, We transcribed and proofed the index of names of the
probate records at the Clerk of Court office in the Dubuque County
Courthouse. Entries are from the early 1830s through 1937, but the earliest
records are undated. This is a helpful tool for determining the names of just
some of the individuals who died during the period preceding 1880 when the
official registration of deaths began in |

Prairie Farmer's Home and With approval of the original publisher, we have reprinted
a compilation of farm families who answered a 1924 survey by the Prairie
Farmer magazine. It includes the names of all members of the family and
which children were living at home as well as the wife's maiden name. One of
our members indexed the women's maiden names and we have included that index.
It is very interesting to search for the names of women who were sisters and
who they married. Additional information and sections in the book include ownership
of land, radios, automobiles, animal stock, and so forth. An overall
demographic and historical picture of the farm families in 1924. |

The Society holds monthly meetings on topics of interest to family historians and genealogists. The meeting may be an informal discussion among the attendees or a presentation given by a member or there may be a guest speaker. Occasionally, the Society will meet at another location, such as a local library or historical museum. For example, we have visited the Dyersville Area Historical Society’s library to learn about the collection there. All monthly meetings are open to the public. Guests and new members are welcome.
Please consult
the calendar below or the Society’s current Newsletter issue for a list
of the upcoming program topics and whether a monthly meeting will be held at a
location other than the Family History Center or e-mail us at dckcgs@hotmail.com to confirm it. Meetings
are held usually the second Tuesday of the month.
