Welcome to BARBER COUNTY Kansas

 

ADOPT ME - COUNTY COORDINATOR NEEDED!

Barber County, KSGenWeb Project

Barber County was organized in 1873. The County Seat was set in Medicine Lodge. The county is nearly in the form of a rectangle, with Kingman County cutting out a six-mile-square block in the northwest corner. The county is thirty-three miles north to south and thirty-six from east to west, with a total area of 1,134 square miles. Named for Thomas W. Barber, a Free State settler in Douglas County, who was killed by pro-slavery forces near Lawrence on 6 December 1855.  Name spelled 'Barbour' until it was changed by the Legislature in 1883.

I am your County Coordinator.  I welcome information, corrections and suggestions for any of the pages about Barber County, Kansas.  My name is Rebecca Maloney and you can email me anytime!  We thank all of our previous County Coordinators for the many hours of work they have put into this project for the future of genealogy research.  Your work has made finding our family history easier and for that we are grateful!  We offer free genealogy records and information for genealogists seeking their ancestors and family history.  If you have records to share we would love to include them- just contact me!
