Buchanan County Genealogical Society

Buchanan County Genealogical Society This turned into a lengthy project and the book “Buchanan County, Iowa, Cemeteries, 1980" was published.

During the 1976 Bicentennial celebration, the Buchanan County Historical Society decided to research all the cemeteries in Buchanan County, while the tombstones were still legible. The Buchanan County Genealogical Society was formed as a branch of the Historical Society. Since that time thousands of obituary/cemetery cards have been filed and are updated weekly. Our library is staffed entirely by volunteers who help researchers when they visit the library or by mail or email.

Our mission this year was to organize and index more of our collection. In the process we have found many duplicate books and we decided to use these to raise funding for future projects. These books are stuffed with very interesting history. Here are the ones that we currently have available. Thank you for your support!

We are also in need of volunteers that would like to create indexes for some of the scrapbooks and other items in our collection. Please contact us if you are interested in helping with this project.
