Travel Log: #8—Day 2

(note this post is part of a series of posts of my recent research trip to Des Moines, Iowa with my Dad)

Our first "Roberts" find--still in Nebraska!!!

We arise early, have to wash the car because we eliminated every flying bug in Nebraska, while night driving, fill up with gas and drive 3 hours to Des Moines.

After we arrive in Des Moines, we get lost, eat, get lost again, spend a couple of hours at the Iowa Genealogical Society, check into our hotel, and return to the Iowa Genealogical Society where we research until closing at 9 pm.   

Happy to finally be researching and finding stuff!

A surprise find was an unknown marriage for Sarah Ann’s son John!
