Thank you Indexers!
**I just LOVE the Iowa State Census records! The 1925 Iowa State Census records asks for the individual's father's full name and birth place AND the mother's full name (maiden) and birth place! It is especially wonderful when you find a mother or mother-in-law living with a family, because you obtain two generations of maiden names!!!Now I'm off to add all of the new information to my RootsMagic program and analyze my new finds! Have a great evening!
