ANDREAS History Of Iowa-Muscatine Co Extracts
Muscatine County Extracts from
Andreas' 1875 Atlas of Iowa
Slowly working my way through a lot of good information on Muscatine
County which can be found in the 1875 Andreas' Atlas of Iowa. This may
be the only book our local library has on Iowa in their special collections
area and now it's gone out for "repairs"...I found it hidden in a dark
corner after copies had been made of some sections for me (thanks Larry)
and arrived in the mail. It's long overdue that some of this information
be online.
The atlas had long lists of "patrons", what today would be called
"sponsors". These patron lists are full of valuable genealogical information,
so I have begun the transcriptions with those.
On the lists, you will find names, location of residence, business
or occupation, Nativity (state or country of origin), when the person came
to the State of Iowa and the Post Office at which they received mail.
