Genealogy Research Guide

This guide is intended to assist genealogists in knowing what resources are available in the ISU Library and through the Internet. It also includes some information on genealogy resources at Ames Public Library and the Iowa Genealogical Society Library.

Cemetery Records

Cemetery records contain a wealth of genealogical information. The ISU Library has a small number of books related to Iowa cemeteries as well as some for other states. Some of these are histories of a specific cemetery while others are actual lists of individuals buried there.

Use Quick Search on the library homepage and look for one of the following:

"cemetery records"

"cemetery records" AND iowa

cemeter* AND iowa

Free websites providing the ability to search through cemetery records by name, birth or death date, or location of cemetery.
