A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

For that which has passed and gone let us feel thankful. The New Year is here - let us hail it with joy. May it be bright and bring hopes of a rosy future with 365 days of new life, fresh hope and added opportunity. Let's all try to dodge the humps and holes, if we can, and make the new year better than ever before. ~Postville Herald, Thursday, January 1, 1925

~~ ~~

A New Year's resolution should be made for one day only. This is the natural limit of man's spiritual fortitude. And each morning, for as long as possible, the resolution should be repeated. A resolution that stretches out for a year is intoleraby hard to keep, but one that begins each morningand ends each night is both simple and practical. It asks not more of us than we can do and it makes each ay the measure of our responsibility, endurance and growth. ~Allamakee Journal and Lansing Mirror, Wednesday, January 5, 1955

In 2025 ...

A brick wall will fall
Grandma's maiden name will be found
The search for someone's parents names will finally end
A great-granddad's burial place will be discovered

Happy ancestor hunting!

Search Allamakee co.

Many of the records on this website have been transcribed from very old, hard to read records or have been translated from another language. Be creative when entering a surname into the search or browse the records looking for your ancestor. Search for your ancestor "John Doe" and "Doe, John" or try initials for first names. Also, old records often used shortened versions of names, ie: Thos., Jos., Wm. for Thomas, Joseph & William. Women often went by nicknames, ie: Etta for Henrietta, Minnie for Wilhelmina, etc. The search looks for exactly what you put in the box.

A note from Sharyl...

Please use the Query Board. I'll reply to your query if I can help. As much as I'd love to be able to assist everyone with their research, I'm not able to because I don't live in or near Allamakee county.

Be sure to check neighboring counties for your ancestors:
