The Nodaway County Genealogical Society has made a complete 82-page every-name index to this history which allows you to find information that you would never find otherwise. You can order copies of biographicals from the Society.
I made this shortened-version index originally for my own use so that I could see the migration routes of where people came from. Seldom did a single family begin the western trek by themselves, but rather they went with relatives and friends. To see all the other families who came from the same county and state back east is sometimes very helpful.
