Alfalfa County, Oklahoma
History & Genealogy Project
A message from your host....
Greetings, and welcome to the Alfalfa County History and Genealogy Project. My name is Richard Ross and I will be your host for this worthy project. The goal here is to provide you with information into the lives of your Alfalfa Ancestors. We will do that through history and genealogy of this county and its people. We will have the usual information that is provided through other sites like this. Through this site you will find contact information where you can write for actual documents; help provided by volunteers, queries and mailing lists; on-site data with listings of cemeteries, census information, maps, military veterans and obituaries; special projects with information submitted by researchers of Alfalfa County, Oklahoma. This is a work in progress so please check back often.
Perhaps you have periodicals, books, etc. that you would be willing to perform lookups in, or access to census information that you would be willing to transcribe for the benefit of all those who come here. If that is the case, please email the Alfalfa County Coordinator. Thanks for dropping in and please sign our Guestbook on the way out.
