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.

Apologies to our followers! Between bad weather and extraneous demands, I have fallen behind in our postings. Plus in my hurry, I failed to include the picture for the "Can You Identify This Picture?" series. I have posted it here. It may take me a day or two to get caught up, but keep following. There is more to come!
