Home for Crawford County Genealogy 
 
This is a simple place to start as you build your genealogy research. Our friendly staff is more than willing to point you in the right direction concerning your genealogy research.
 
Items available in the office of the Crawford County Clerk:
Birth and death records from 1886 through 1911 are available for public viewing or you can now check online vital statistics database for birth and death records to see if your ancestors have vital statistics information in the Crawford County records. A certified copy of a birth or death record will be made available to you for a pre-paid fee of $3.00 per certified document. The County Clerk will sign the record personally and affix his official seal. All of our other services are provided free of charge. After July 1, 1911, all record keeping duties were assumed by the State of Kansas. The office responsible for these documents is the KDHE Office of Vital Statistics in Topeka. They can be contacted at (785) 296-1400 or online at http://www.kdheks.gov/vital/.
 
The Index of Names for Tombstone Transcriptions from 1860 through 1976 for all cemeteries located within Crawford County is available for public viewing in our office or you can now check our full tombstone transcription database online to see if your ancestors are buried in Crawford County. All cemetery information is made available to us by the generosity of the Crawford County Genealogical Society. Using information that was collected by William C. Cuthbertson, the resulting CD was created as a memorial to Phyllis A. Johnson and presented to the Crawford County Genealogical Society.
 
Crawford County History features a brief history of Crawford County, the County Courthouse, and a video collection addressing agriculture, arts and architecture, education, immigration, industry and economics, mining and labor, people, and social reform in Crawford County.
 
Crawford County Maps Project:
Principal funding for this program is provided by The Kansas Humanities Council Heritage Grant, a nonprofit cultural organization promoting understanding of the history, traditions, and ideas that shape our lives and build community.

The total collection ranges in date from 1882 through the current year. The collection contains 6319 documents, including Cities, County, Elections, Government, KDOT, School Districts, and Townships. Map copies and images are available in the office for public viewing or your can check online for selected images on the following link.  Maps Project Images
