The different court records from the state of Iowa, beginning in its territorial period before statehood in 1846, offer insights into settlers, farmers, and immigrants. Probate, land disputes, and naturalization files reveal key family details. District courts handled divorces, wills, and estate settlements, while federal court records track immigration patterns. The State Historical Society of Iowa and county courthouses maintain these documents which are crucial tools for researchers focused on their Iowan roots.
