Most were donated by the Pioneer Sons and Daughters Genealogical Society of Des Moines. The records span the years 1846–1888, with a small number extending as late as 1956.&#13;
Although heavily represented by filings in Polk County, these materials document individuals from communities across Iowa and from a wide range of countries of origin.&#13;

Most were donated by the Pioneer Sons and Daughters Genealogical Society of Des Moines. The records span the years 1846–1888, with a small number extending as late as 1956.&#13;
Although heavily represented by filings in Polk County, these materials document individuals from communities across Iowa and from a wide range of countries of origin.&#13;

The original documents are not available online; however, an index is provided for research and reference.</text>

Most were donated by the Pioneer Sons and Daughters Genealogical Society of Des Moines. The records span the years 1846–1888, with a small number extending as late as 1956.&#13;
Although heavily represented by filings in Polk County, these materials document individuals from communities across Iowa and from a wide range of countries of origin.&#13;

The original documents are not available online; however, an index is provided for research and reference.</text>

Most were donated by the Pioneer Sons and Daughters Genealogical Society of Des Moines. The records span the years 1846–1888, with a small number extending as late as 1956.&#13;
Although heavily represented by filings in Polk County, these materials document individuals from communities across Iowa and from a wide range of countries of origin.&#13;

Most were donated by the Pioneer Sons and Daughters Genealogical Society of Des Moines. The records span the years 1846–1888, with a small number extending as late as 1956.&#13;
Although heavily represented by filings in Polk County, these materials document individuals from communities across Iowa and from a wide range of countries of origin.&#13;

Most were donated by the Pioneer Sons and Daughters Genealogical Society of Des Moines. The records span the years 1846–1888, with a small number extending as late as 1956.&#13;
Although heavily represented by filings in Polk County, these materials document individuals from communities across Iowa and from a wide range of countries of origin.&#13;

The original documents are not available online; however, an index is provided for research and reference.</text>

                  <text>This collection features more than 1,500 original naturalization documents preserved by the Iowa Genealogical Society Library. Most were donated by the Pioneer Sons and Daughters Genealogical Society of Des Moines. The records span the years 1846–1888, with a small number extending as late as 1956.&#13;
Although heavily represented by filings in Polk County, these materials document individuals from communities across Iowa and from a wide range of countries of origin.&#13;

The original documents are not available online; however, an index is provided for research and reference.</text>
