My experiences: I now live in Virginia and haven't been back to Dubuque in several years. What I do is e-mail my request to the library. They send me what they can find on the names I've given and charge $3 per sheet (page 1, subsequent pages are $1). Works out very well for obits and articles. I had called the courthouse and was quoted $1 and then $3 for death/birth certs. When I sent my names and $$, I received a letter from the manager saying they wouldn't provide the information via mail (walk ins might be different?) and that I had to go through the Des Moines office. -----Original Message----- From: Nancy L.

Jean, I'm in Alabama , so I can't help you at the moment, but I do try to visit the library in Dubuque when I get back there. They have many of the local newspapers on microfilm. I have not checked it out, but you might be able to get copies through interlibrary loan. If not from the Carnegie Stout Library, perhaps from the Iowa Historical Society. I'd start by checking with the library. They do have a website. http://www.dubuque.lib.ia.us/Genealogy.htm Jim ----- Original Message ----- From: Ellen Elliott <eeadv@home.com> To: <IADUBUQU-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2001 2:46 PM Subject: RE: [IADubuque] Death Records > My experiences: > > I now live in Virginia and haven't been back to Dubuque > in several years.
