Thanks to the many who contribute to our web site, we've added quite a bit of genealogical and historical data. Biographies, obituaries, gravestone photos on the IAGenWeb Gravestone Photo Project, 1875 maps including the townships, and we are in the process of installing on the web site the 1902 History of Dickinson County of which, so far, we have eight chapters installed. Also Patrick Sullivan's "Sioux City Cavalry" project is now on the web site. We have many to thank for their generous contributions and time in helping our web site grow. They include Colleen Boose, Edward Black, Debbie Clough Gerischer, Steve Kiner, Wendy Pearson, Patrick Sullivan, Peggy Tebbetts, Paul Vasold, and Sharon Workman. Without them we wouldn't be getting anywhere but we also need you to help us grow. Visit our "What's New" page at http://www.rootsweb.com/~iadickin/whatsnewindex.htm to see what we've been doing. And while you are there, make it easier for you to know when we have updated the web site. Instead of trying to remember to come back and see what's happening, all you need to do is copy the url address of the whatsnew page, then enter your email address in the box provided on the page, and then on the changedirection page, paste the url address in the box and enter. From that point on you will be notified when we make an update, no more having to remember to come back to see what's been done. While you are visiting our web site, go ahead and submit the surnames you are researching at this page - http://www.rootsweb.com/~iadickin/surnames.htm . We know this list really needs to grow. We invite those of you who have genealogy documents, photos, records, maps, obituaries, biographies, and so on which pertain to Dickinson county to please contribute them to our site so that your data may be shared with others. Sincerely, Mike Peterson IAGenWeb Dickinson County Coordinator geanie@cox.net http://www.rootsweb.com/~iadickin/
