Bremer County, Iowa is a Genealogical Hotspot for Me

Bremer County's location compared to major cities in the Midwest.  Image taken from City-Data.com's entry on Bremer County, Iowa.



This is Waverly (filmed in 1961 for the Chamber of Commerce).




As I am straightening out my ancestral locations, I come back over and over again to places in Bremer County, Iowa (including the towns of Waverly and Waterloo), where my Tibbetts and Messingers settled in the early 1850s after leaving the Indianapolis area about 1845.  Although my direct ancestors left the area by the 1870s, I still have distant cousins living there.
