OUR WASHINGTON COUNTY RESEARCH HELPS

EARLY MARRIAGES (1862 -1919) IN WASHINGTON COUNTY UTAH MALE AND FEMALE SURNAME INDEXES Early Marriage Index	These are No. 5 and 6 in the Washington County, Utah - Family Research Series by Wesley W. Craig, Ph.D. It's great to get yet another well-documented,comprehensive, research tool from Dr. Craig for this website. This is great for those searching for all Southern Utah ancestors. Many couples traveled to St. George to be married in the LDS temple there so there are couples listed from all over southern Utah, as well as the surrounding states. Thanks once again, Wes!
CEMETERY INDEXES Washington County Cemetery Index.	This revised 1998 version of the cemetery indexes is online as of 5 May 1998. It includes over thirty cemeteries from the first edition as well as an expanded Shivwits cemetery page, and new pages for Silver Reef and Duncan's Retreat. Thanks again to Wesley Craig, Phd. for this generous contribution.
PIONEER INDEX (1852-1870) Washington County Pioneer Index Town Pioneer Index	We have received a wonderful index from Wesley W. Craig and Roberta Blake Barnum. The authors have compiled an index of the pioneers who settled in Washington County from 1852 through 1870. There are two indexes one listing females by their maiden names and the main index with male listings first. We have now added a separate pioneer database separated into towns so you can see each town as a separate pioneer list.
WASHINGTON COUNTY UTAH MASTER CEMETERY INDEX	A master 1998 cemetery index - all of Washington county on one list - is available for ftp download in the USGenWeb archives. This is a text file and not in database or table form but is a great resource if you don't know the town where your elusive ancestor was buried. This file is also from Dr. Craig and is large (well over 400 pages - 700 K) and will take a while to load if you have dial-up. It's located at: ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ut/washington/cemeteries/mstcem.txt.
WORLD WAR II MILITARY INDEX Military Index Page	*An Historical Index of Men and Women of Washington County Utah who Served in the Military During World War II* compiled by Abram Owen Young, Jr. is one of our newest indexes. Thanks so much to George Spencer for obtaining this military index for us and obtaining permission to publish it on the internet. This index includes over 1200 servicemen and women from Washington County and also from nearby communities in Nevada and Arizona.
