CCGS Vital Records Indexing Project


CCGS members have voluntarily devoted countless hours in support of the Vital Record Indexing Project. To date, three books have been compiled and published as part of this project. They are as follows:


Chickasaw County Death Index, Book 1 (1880-1897)
The deaths indexed in this publication are the earliest record of deaths in Chickasaw County, Iowa. They are arranged chronogically, beginning in 1880. Transcribed for this index are the following elements of the death entries: Record Number, Name, Age, Marital Status, Death Date, Birthplace and Place of Burial.

Many deaths were not recorded during this period, therefore this is not a complete record of the deaths that occurred in Chickasaw County during the period. However, it is a complete index of all the deaths that were so recorded.


Chickasaw County Marriage Index by Bride, Books 1-5 (1853 - Mid 1901)
This publication is an updated and revised edition of CCGS's original marriage record book. The data has been "computerized", via a database, then sorted by surname of the bride, for the five earliest county marriage record books. This format is very easy to use, since you essentially see all the marriages for a specific surname over the nearly 50 year timeframe. Very convenient for those working on finding members of an entire family.  Data presented in this publication includes: name of the bride, name of the groom, date of marriage, and record number.


Chickasaw County Marriage Index by Groom, Books 1-5 (1853 - Mid 1901)
This publication is an updated and revised edition of CCGS's original marriage record book. The data has been "computerized", via a database, then sorted by surname of the groom, for the five earliest county marriage record books. This format is very easy to use, since you essentially see all the marriages for a specific surname over the nearly 50 year timeframe. Very convenient for those working on finding members of an entire family.  Data presented in this publication includes: name of the groom, name of the bride, date of marriage, and record number.
