The Genealogical Society of Linn County Iowa located in Cedar Rapids is truly one of our nation's Preservation Oaks!
The most pressing priority of the Genealogical Society of Linn County at this time is that the Society is seeking a donor to provide an Ancestry Library Edition subscription to use in order to allow patrons to perform research using Ancestry.com. If you can help, please connect with the Society.
The Genealogical Society of Linn County, Iowa was designated as a Family Search Center in 2020. You can access records on family search that otherwise you would not be able to access.
This quote from Ruth: “We have the most complete collection of Linn County records and materials anywhere on the planet. That we are always free. That we are accessible to anyone of any age. That we have very low fees to make copies and for membership.”
Another quote from Ruth: “We are so dedicated with our volunteers who gather, preserve, digitize, and index these records about the people of Linn County which otherwise would be lost forever!”
The Society is supported 100% by donations and volunteers. Please help support the Genealogical Society of Linn County, Iowa today! Ruth reviewed the funding and fundraising particulars of the society, so you know where the funds are going and that the priorities are.
