Welcome To Linn County, Iowa Part of Genealogy Trails Volunteers Dedicated to Free Genealogy! Our goal is to help you track your ancestors through time by transcribing genealogical and historical data and placing it online for the free use of all researchers. We're looking for folks who share our dedication to putting data online and are interested in helping this project be as successful as we can make it. If you are interested in joining our group by hosting either this county website or one of the available county websites, view our Volunteer Information page. A desire to transcribe data and know-how to make a basic webpage is required. This County needs a Permanent Host! Linn County was organized January 15th, 1839. It was named after Senator Lewis Linn of Missouri. The County Seat is Cedar Rapids.
