Buena Vista County
 An IAGenWeb Project!

Welcome to our website, we hope you enjoy your stay.

Buena Vista County is available for adoption!
if you are interested in becoming the
new County Coordinator for Buena Vista,
please contact our Welcome Hostesses.

For all other questions or If you have material to contribute, please contact the temporary County Coordinator, LaVern. Please note
that I do not do research, so those questions
should be posted on the Queries Board.

Questions regarding cemetery plots or
care of cemeteries should be directed
to the recordkeeper for that cemetery.
Any funeral home in the town nearest
the cemetery wil have that person's name
and contact information.

Everything on this website has been contributed by volunteers!
 Won't you share too? Find out how you can help, e-mail the
Buena Vista County Coordinator.
