Hello
and Welcome to Decatur County, Kansas.
If you have
information that you could share with us such as stories, pictures, memorabilia,
etc, or if you would like to help by transcribing data for the web site please
email me. Working together we can make this a valuable resource site as
we read through old public records, walk cemeteries, and sort through boxes of photographs and postcards
while we research our family histories...

Knowing that everyone is in a hurry to find the person they are
looking for I have included this search engine for your convenience. But
DO NOT rely on it totally. Handwriting and human error can cause you not
to find the person you are searching for. Use the search engine but then go
back and check out the resources available since not all pages are searched
by this.
