The State of Kansas began keeping Birth and Death Records in 1911. Russell County Historical and Genealogy Society has an extensive research and photograph library that includes pre-1911 records. Early day residents recorded these records and often times included information not easily found such as: dates, where the family lived, occupations, church affiliation, civil organizations,  funeral arrangements and cause of death.

Some of the other documents available for research are Census Records, City Platt books, Cemetery Platt books, school histories; maps and much more are available to those researching former Russell County residents.

Out-of county researchers:  For a minimal fee, our staff will lookup genealogical information and send copies to those who request the service.  For more information contact the society by phone (785) 483-3637 or rchs@russellks.net or by letter.
