Recently I received information on Daniel Justice of Polk County Iowa. This is from 1880 History of Polk County, Douglas Township. "---came into Iowa thirty-one years ago. He built a rude log cabin on Four Mile ---." Can someone tell me where Four Mile might be located. Thanks, Janet

There is a Four Mile Creek in Des Moines. I want to say the East or South side of Des Moines. Perhaps someone on the list knows more specifically. Pam

Hello: I have been subscribed to your Website for some time. Soon I will be changing my email address to a "new one". When I do such, do I just send your Website another email with the "same subject" as I have done so in this email and in the "body of my email", do I just write: Changing my email address from my "old" email address to my "new" email address??? I have never done this before and am unsure on how to do it. "Please" answer right away", thank you very kindly, Shirley

Janet, It looks like Four Mile was a township and also the name of a creek in Polk County, Iowa.

A suggestion for future posts Nanci, "looking for information" is to vague of a post since nobody know what you may already have. In 1900 Henry J. & Bessie are in Adair co. with fledging George, 1. In 1910 Henry & Bessie & additions to the nest are in Beaver twp. in Guthrie co. 1920 Guthrie co Bear Grove twp. has H.J. & Elizabeth Oakley & still growing family.

Thank You Sue! I am glad someone is looking out for me! :-) The lady who usually does the proof reading for this project has not been well and I have really missed her a great deal. I'm working on it now and will have it back on line shortly.

Hello, everyone, It has been a hectic week as The IAGenWeb Project has had to say goodbye to one county coordinator and another of our CC's has cut back on her duties to just one county. We are sorry to hear of this, but do appreciate the fact that other priorities are calling them. Connie Street and Sally Youngquist have both done a tremendous job of maintaining, updating, and caring for their respective counties. These two ladies cared for seven counties between them. Ruth Dresser has become the Co-Coordinator for Lee Co. Ruth had worked along side Sally as her Assistant County Coordinator for some time. Nancie Dobyns has become the new Butler Co. Coordinator. Nancie is also the Special Projects Coordinator for Iowa in the Civil War and the former CC for Black Hawk Co. The following counties are still in need of a new coordinator: Buchanan, Franklin, Keokuk, Louisa, and Poweshiek, although we do have applications out on the last two. Should anyone be interested in adopting a county, please contact Linda Ziemann or me at welcome@iagenweb.org . Kind Regards, Peggy Tebbetts IAGenWeb Welcome Hostess Co-Chair welcome@iagenweb.org

OUR FAVORITE WEB SITES a.. The 1700 Census of Men in Denmark The 1700 census of men in Denmark is not a well known document. It can be a key document for genealogists as the church records of Denmark often start in the late 1600s or early 1700s. This document can help genealogists better establish the earliest generation. Together with other documents of the 1600s, it can help genealogists extend a pedigree back beyond the earliest church records. The following counties are online: Frederiksborg, Skanderborg, and Akaer (later part of Arhus County). http://www.horlacher.org/denmark/1700/index.html
