This is a view of the library of the Webster County Genealogical Society. On the right are Webster County resources. There are family trees on the far back wall. On that same wall, to the left are state and county resources. The boxes along the top shelves contain probate records.

There is a wide variety of resources available. I’ll be working on getting a list online for people to see what we’ve got.

We have Fort Dodge city directories going back to the late 1800s.

Oh, and don’t forget microfilm (newspapers,church records and more):
