Genealogical Information

 

In the past visitors to this site may have been looking for genealogical information. We are in the process of digitizing The Record American Newspaper. It is an expensive and time consuming process. When it has been completed you will be able to search records in a timely manner. As of this time the Record American has been digitized from years 1919 through 1930. If you have a specific obituary date for this time span, copies can be provided for a fee by contacting the historical society directly.
