Travel Log: #11-Day 5
(note this post is part of a series of posts of my recent research trip to Des Moines, Iowa with my Dad)
Slept in! Stayed up too late last night! Organized papers and use post-it notes for research log! First we set out to the Glendale Cemetery and ask what records they have. They don’t have any; however they can give us a burial date which will narrow the search for an obituary to within a few days rather than 6 microfilms!
Finish up our last few hours of research and leave at the 4:30 pm closing. Drive around town and snap some tourist/genealogy/historical places photographs!
Easiest find: I open up a book looking for a marriage record, and the page I open ends up having an unknown marriage of a family member on it!
Best find: two more obituaries, another death certificate and a naturalization record!
