Pottawattamie County, Iowa Genealogy and History


A Project of Iowa Genealogy Trails!

"Volunteers Dedicated to Free Genealogy"


Our names are Dennis & Cathy Danielson, as your Pottawattamie County, Iowa hosts, we
will try to post as much data online as possible in order to make it freely available to all.

We gratefully accept contributions of data such as births, biographies, census, deaths,
funeral cards, histories, marriages, old newspaper items, being respectful of copyrights.

If you are interested in joining our group by hosting one of the available county websites
view our
Volunteer Information page and Email Kim.

A desire to transcribe data and know-how to make a basic webpage is required.
