This newly revised and greatly expanded edition is a crucial reference for researching German ancestry in Iowa. Margaret Krug Palen has traveled to Germany to search for genealogical material on German immigrant families and research the history of the farming region which was the source of so many immigrants to Iowa farmlands. The author’s ongoing search has yielded hundreds of new entries, the resultant text being almost twice the size of the original edition. A new historical preface and introduction are also included, examining village life in Germany throughout the centuries leading up to the present day. The introduction is enhanced by photographs and illustrations. The genealogical dictionary spans four centuries, following families from their European origins in 17th-century Germany up to the present day. Many German families left Europe to settle the Iowa prairie in the 19th century, and some of their lines can be traced back through as many as 13 generations. Entries are arranged alphabetically by surname with dates of birth, marriage, death and burial, and place of birth wherever known. Also listed are the names of spouses and children, places of residence and occupations. The text has been indexed to aid in information retrieval. 2000, 5½x8½, paper, index, biblio., illus., c600 pp. P1664 ISBN: 0788416642
