Overview:  
1.  My primary interest is generally pioneer history and includes linking village and neighborhood surnames together for several of the early generations.  Often connections, locations and other data have to be speculated in order to continue a complex series of inter-related projects.  My web pages are primarily personal study projects for note keeping, but can also jump start others.  I have a huge number of projects started and rarely return to edit/update material unless interest is rekindled.  Any web pages online are usually linked off the 'Index Page.'  Numerous projects are not put on web pages but are in draft form or in the form of photo albums on the 'Photo Hosting Site.'   I may have material for research use in storage, plus will/can upload other people's material if appropriate.  iowaz@swbell.net  or iowaz@hotmail.com
