Our History Online
For the past several years, our staff and volunteers have been working diligently on creating searchable indexes for the many resources we have available in our research library. We currently have over 250,000 records indexed which includes city directory listings, census records, military records, plat map listings and much more. We are very pleased to make this searchable database available on our website at no charge. Select Search Our Name Database from the menu on the right to begin your search. Copies of the original city directory listing, census record, military record and plat map are available through our research library.
Our name index along with the other online resources available on our website are updated on a continual basis, so please check back with us often and check out what's new.
