Hello There are a couple of ways to check mortality records. You could check with a local genealogy society and ask if they have a copy of them. Or you could check with the state library or the state archives. Illinois has both a historical library and a state archive. They have the records on file in the archives. You could check with the Indiana state library. If you give them the person's name and date of death, they will get you copies and only charge you for the copy. Here is the address of the Indiana state library and it will tell you how to contact them. http://www.statelib.lib.in.us/www/isl/whoweare/genealogy.html Tonia ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2003 8:50 AM Subject: [INDEARBO] Mortality records Hi, How do you check State mortality records?

Hi, How do you check State mortality records? Thanks, Jackie

To Lynn and listers The person who posted the original query could also check the mortality (think that is the correct term) death records --for the state for that year. My ancestor (Wendaline Egner) died in that cholera epidemic and is listed in the state mortality records for 1850.

Subj: New Alsace inquiry response from Rootsweb.com message board Date: 11/19/2003 1:03:59 AM Pacific Standard Time From: LynEnder To: [email protected] In response to your inquiry about the cholera outbreak in New Alsace, I am transcribing what is written by my great grand uncle, Anthony A. Fette, in his book, "History of New Alsace, Indiana", back in 1951. Unfortunately, there is no information regarding the surname HUTTS in the book at all, but the mention of the epidemic is as follows: pg 169: "...Mrs. Meyer says the first cemetery where the cholera victims of 1849 and 1850 are buried was between the new school building and the street. When the first cholera patients died, the church bells were tolled, but the victims died so fast that they ceased tolling the bells. Then they ran out of coffins and the bodies were wrapped in sheets and buried quickly. She does not remember any markers ever being there. According to her mother, the cholera took the young and strong and people that were well midday were corpses by nightfall. People were afraid to venture from their homes. Over half the population was wiped out. Much of the foregoing was told to Mrs. Meyer by her mother, whose range was from 1845 to 1900, her own personal range was from about 1875 to 1920, and the writer's from 1890 to 1907." Im not sure how much help this will be to you, but it could explain a persons disappearance if they died of cholera...they would have been buried with no marker...but it doesnt make sense that this information is not listed in church records somewhere. Please let me know if I can help you further.
