Central Iowa Genealogical Society
The Central Iowa Genealogical Society was organized in April, 1965 with the primary aim to help others in their family research. The Genealogical Society collects genealogical materials. The collection has grown to over a thousand books.
The collection is currently housed in the Historical Society Museum, and covers published family histories, county histories, census, cemetery records, ships' passenger lists and Genealogical Societies publications. The collection is not limited to Marshall County, Iowa, but includes New England, North & South Carolina, Maryland, Virginia and other Midwest states.
The Genealogical Society library is open to the public during regular museum hours as well as on the first and third Saturday of each month from 10 AM to 2 PM.
