Dear Listers,
Note that the Godfrey Memorial Library has a Family History Center, which is
a branch facility of the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. The
Center provides access to most of the microfilms and microfiche in the
Family History Library, and also to Ancestry.com, but only in the center,
not online.

CHRISTIAN W. SLAGLE was born in Washington, Pennsylvania, November 17, 1821,
and graduated from Washington College in 1840. He studied law and was
admitted to the bar in 1843. Coming to Iowa the same year, he located at Fairfield
which became his permanent home. Here he engaged in the practice of his
profession. In 1848 he was one of the active promoters of Congressional grants of
public lands for aiding in the construction of railroads in Iowa. He was one
of the founders of the Jefferson County
I also have the census subscription. I have really used it a lot nd it has

I didn't think I would be able to get a marriage certificate after
I found my Great-grandparents marriage on a list of marriages,
Is that possible? I thought what I have is the original record?

Anyone know if there is a certificate available?
This same Great-grandfather died in 1898 in Kansas and his death is on a

The 1880 census does not show him. But it does show Samuel G. from Ohio and

the death of Margaret).

There are actually 5 Jewish Cemeteries located in Des Moines. Three are within the confines of the Glendale Cemetery but are separate and keep their own records by the Synagogue that runs them. One is by it's self on the East Side at the intersection of Easton Blvd. and Delaware Ave. The fifth is located within the confines of the Woodland Cemetery. None of them have specific addresses other than the location of the cemetery.
Their names of three of them are Children of Israel, which i
Is anyone researching the LANGHOFF Family? I have done very little research
on this family but have been curious to know if perhaps some of the Langhoff
family had also immigrated to Iowa. As it happens Sophia Dorothea LANGHOF,

was the wife of Hinrich "Henry" Christian Friedrich BLOCKER. Henry Blocker,
born about 1802, was the son of either Magdelina Catharina (RAMBOW) and
