Hello Listers, In our effort to post everything we can about Mills County, we have just added the 1870 Census of the Iowa Soldiers Orphan Home in Glenwood. There are over 90 children listed. How many of them came from the Mills County area cannot be known but some probably did. If you have a suggestion regarding the information you would like to see on our Mills County web site, or anything else you can suggest to make our web site an interesting place to browse, please send it to one of us. There are 167 people on our mailing list at the present time. A tip for the newer ones. We keep posting old wills on our Mills Message Boards. There are at least 93 wills there. After you have checked the Will Index on our main page, this would be a good place to check to see if a will for your ancestor is listed. Just put Will in the Classification Box and it will show those wills that are posted. Although I didn't count the obituaries, there must be more than 150 posted on the Message Boards. Just put Obituaries in the Classification Box. Thanks to all. Cay and Margaret

Hello, Cay and Margaret, Your site provides so much more than almost any other that I hesitate to suggest still more, but--you did ask! Would it be possible to continue adding vital records into or further into the 20th century? I have a number of people I'm researching who were born in the 1890s, and it's hard to trace them (especially the women). The births, marriages, and deaths you've already posted have been so helpful that I realize how very useful they can be.
