Good Morning Boschong Subscribers, On the 1st of May, I will be giving an honest updated report on the Bushong DNA project. MEANWHILE The Knox County Public Library (Indiana) has a grant to digitize many of the early records of that county. As more records become available throughout the United States, we will have a lot more information to flesh out our families. Here is the newspaper article and the link for viewing what they have already made available. ------------------ The News-Sentinel Fort Wayne, Indiana Thursday, 17 April 2013 >From The Associated Press Monday, April 1, 2013 - 7:57 am VINCENNES — A southwestern Indiana county's library is electronically preserving some of the state's earliest records and putting the most historically significant documents online. The Vincennes Sun-Commercial reports that the Knox County Public Library has obtained several grants to digitize the files. The building housing the hard copies of the documents is not climate-controlled to prevent the records from deteriorating. The most important records have been relocated to the library's McGrady-Brockman House, formerly a historical center. Historical collection administrator Brian Spangle says the library has digitized the earliest records dating from the 1790s to the mid-1820s and posted them online. Documents include marriage records, early will records, probate files and criminal and civil court files. Some of those files are searchable at visions.indstate.edu. ------------------ Submitted by Gloria Neiger Bushong.
