http://iagenweb.org/boards/allamakee/biographies/index.cgi
Biographies can be from any source, other than the 1882 & 1913 Allamakee history books (all presently are on this website). There are also biographical sketches in the 1875 Andreas Atlas. Researchers may write a biography for their own ancestor. You may also send a small photo of the person & I will add it to the biography for you. The biography MUST have an Allamakee co. connection, the person either having been born in or lived in Allamakee co. for a time. Biographies of individuals whose spouse was born or lived in Allamakee co. are also permitted. E-mail Sharyl if you have questions on how to send a photo:
The following biographies have been posted to the Allamakee Biography board, or in a few cases, to one of the other IAGenWeb county biography boards. Click on a name to view the biography.
