>From Dick Eastman: August 21, 2008 Indiana Genealogical Society Offers Searchable Databases The Indiana Genealogical Society recently added a new feature to its web site; its own collection of searchable databases. These databases (located at _http://www.indgensoc.org/membersonly/_ (http://www.indgensoc.org/membersonly/) ) are available to IGS members as a benefit of membership. The databases are searchable by first and last name, and include the ability to search by Soundex. The databases cover everything from military records (Civil War, Mexican War and Spanish-American War) to church records and records for various schools (including Indiana University). If you are not an IGS member and want a glimpse of what you are missing, there are also a few databases that have public access. You can then purchase a membership online or through the mail. The Indiana Genealogical Society will be adding more databases over the months and years to come. Come discover if your ancestors were part of the emigration through the area regarded as the crossroads of America. **************New MapQuest Local shows what's happening at your destination.
