January was a busy month in Delaware County IAGenWeb http://iagenweb.org/delaware/ ! New and exciting things are taking place and there has been a great response to the new site. I have added divorce registers, County and state officials, Civil War units, and Civil War information on a least on soldier, and two new "centers". For a complete list of what is going on at Delaware County, IAGenWeb stop by the "What's New" directory. We have a new 'Special Project' at IAGenWeb! It is the Iowa Old Press http://iowaoldpress.com/ . This IAGenWeb Special Project is dedicated to the scores of newspapers that are printed chronicles of the lives and times of Iowa and Iowans. Join us as we step back in time and learn how the Press reported the news & influenced our Iowa ancestors in the 1800's and early 1900's.. There is also a section for scrapbooks that were kept by our ancestors! I hope when you visit the Iowa old Press you will contribute your Delaware County news articles.
