MessageHello list, This was sent to me from Kelly Shaw the coordinator for Polk County Iowa. I wanted to pass on the information. I think there were quite a few families from Randolph county that ended up moving to Iowa. I know I had 2 different families that moved back and forth from Indiana to Iowa several times. I included the original message with the links and information how to obtain copies.
