Iowa coverage
All 99 counties are covered. City coverage includes Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Davenport, Iowa City, and Waterloo. Iowa sustains one of the strongest community-newspaper traditions in the country, and most rural county records originate in weekly papers rather than metro dailies - which is why county-level completeness here depends on breadth of sourcing, not volume.
