Logan County References


      This credit for this page goes to Jackie Masters. Jackie did all the legwork in researching the references for most that are listed here. Thanks Jackie!!!

      Knowing that something exists makes it a lot easier to find!

      This page will list sources of Logan County history and genealogy, with helpful information so others can find it too. For example, say you found a list of Logan County Civil War veterans in a library book. Here's what you might tell us:

        Title: The Uncivil War
        Author: U.S. Grant
        Publisher: Battleground Publishing, Huntington
        Year Printed: 1912
        Call Number xxxx.xx Xxxxv
        Description: CW memoirs with list of Logan vets, page 654.

      That's the ideal, having all available information. We'll take less. :::smile:::
