Waverly Phoenix German Obituaries
1892 - 1924

This collection (3 Volume Set) of nearly2,800 obituarieswas extracted from the Waverly Phoenix 1892-1924 microfilm located at the Waverly Public Library and a limited selection of Waverly Phoenix newspapers in the collections of the Bremer County Historical Society. The obituaries were alphabetized, numbered and indexed.

The index includes: Obituary number, page number, name and any cross reference, spouse's name, maiden name and issue date (Phoenix newspaper publication date, it is not the death). There is also additional information added including some English translations. New English translations were added at the library on July 16, 2004.

A companion book of English translations will soon be available and will be updated when translations are donated. Please direct translated obituaries to:
Waverly Public Library, 1500 W Bremer Avenue, Waverly, IA 50677-2836.Email

This volunteer project was done by Connie Wedemeier and Elvira Hebell in partnership with the Waverly Public Library. If you find something of value in these pages, we ask that you consider a contribution to the Local and Family History section of the Waverly Public Library to increase their capacity to offer quality materials for family history researchers.

If you have come to my website via Ancestry: Several years ago the genealogy giant Ancestry absorbed the genealogy websites of Rootsweb along with personal databases posted at Rootsweb's WorldConnect Project that included a large database of my own family information. I started using Rootsweb in 2000 and they gave us the capability to add, remove, and update our information at anytime and I used these options frequently to post correct and current data. Presently (2006) I am told by Ancestry that we cannot maintain our own databases, we cannot even remove them. If you find information at Ancestry with my name attached please search my website for current information, the databases posted at Ancestry contain inaccurate information. - Karen Rowe.
