    3. Works Progress Administration (WPA) instituted May 6, 1935. Since we have learned what the "WPA", a Government Program stands for. A program which gave people employment during the depression days of the 1930's. When President, Franklin Delano ROOSEVELT, was in office. Not all of the Indiana Counties were blessed with this program that has made it easier for people to do research, especially Genealogist. Is there anyone out there who worked at this 62 years ago who would share with us what method you used to do the indexing of Court House records of birth, marriage and death up to the year 1920? Remember folks, they could not push a button in that day and have them in alphabetical order. Thank you for your answer. Betty
