There's only one St John Twp, though there is a town of St John, but neither are near Calumet Twp. Calumet Twp is Gary... Gary wasn't a city until about 1906, so it might have been listed as Calumet at some point...which is where a number of Curtis's lived, they were there in the very early 1900s, though Im not sure if they were here early enough for a civil war veteran. If you search our Lake Co GenWeb site, there are 30 matches to the name curtis, but that's because one of our biggest contributors is Ken Curtis. He would be your best contact for the Curtis name in relation to Lake Co . Ken Curtis - <A HREF="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</A> Good luck Kathy Huish

10/22/2002 - Updated 09:35 PM ET Mormons give roots to online 1880 Census By Jefferson Graham, USA TODAY Folks interested in their roots get a huge boon today when the 1880 U.S. Census — the first searchable, complete Census — goes online. Volunteers from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which is renowned for its genealogical research facilities, spent 17 years inputting the 50 million entries into computers. The result can be found at familysearch.org. The Mormon Church calls this database, the latest addition to the wealth of genealogical data already available via the Net, the easiest way to date of finding ancestors born in the USA. "Censuses are among the most significant of family records," says church spokesman Richard Turley. The 1880 Census is particularly significant, because it is the first online Census to include former slaves, and the second Census in history to record blacks as individuals rather than as pieces of property. That year's Census also is highly regarded "because it's the first one that told us the names and birthplaces of the parents, which give genealogists more data to follow in their research," says Cyndi Howells, who runs the popular Web site Cyndislist.com, which links to some 170,000 pages. Famous names in the Census: writers Mark Twain and Herman Melville, Western star "Buffalo Bill" Cody, tycoon John D. Rockefeller, inventors Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell, educator Booker T. Washington and abolitionist Frederick Douglass. Besides the year of birth and the birth state of his or her parents, entries in the 1880 Census include neighbors. "That's a clue to connect to previous generations," says Turley. "In the 1880s, relatives often lived together in a broad neighborhood." Genealogy is among the most popular online pastimes, thanks to the Net's easy access to databases worldwide as well as to numerous other sources, such as bulletin boards, for leads. While the pay site ancestry.com is the most popular with 3 million visitors a month, according to Nielsen//NetRatings, such free sites as ellisisland.org and the Mormon Church's familysearch.org often are overwhelmed with traffic whenever new databases are posted. Genealogy is a major component of the Mormon religion: The church is known for having the most extensive system of research facilities — 3,700 in all worldwide — open to all. While other commercial sites, such as ancestry.com, heritagequest.com and genealogy.com have bits and pieces of the 1880 Census, they're not searchable. "You have to put in state and country and look through page by page, just like looking at microfilm," Howells says. The Mormon Church previously released the 1880 Census on a set of 56 CD-ROMs. Howells expects familysearch .org "to be bombarded" today. The church expected 100,000 visitors the day in 1999 that it launched the familysearch site. Instead, it ended up with 1 million. "We portioned out quarter-hour segments to users to keep pace with the traffic," Turley says. "This time, we're better prepared."

This is the only thing I'm going on is his Civil War record: Curtis Charles C. Company E 73rd Indiana Infantry. Private Corporal Union Residence: Calumet, IN Service Record: Promoted to Full Corporal Enlisted as a Private on 16 August 1862 Enlisted in Company E, 73rd Infantry Regiment Indiana on 16 August 1862. Mustered out Company E, 73rd Infantry Regiment Indiana on 01 July 1865 in Nashville, TN So from the Calumet, IN info above, I've been trying to find him in a census. He isn't. I believe him to be the son of James & Margaret Curtis who are found in the 1850 Wayne Cty IN census. Any help greatly appreciated! Bonnie/IL

I do not remember my request ever showing through so I am sending it again, just incase.. is anyone alive on these IN list? or MI list? Kinda quiet.. I am looking for a marriage record or something on a Robert Moffat / Moffett (spelling of last name could be off) who married a Phyllis McCallum in what I was told in Hammond Indiana. It was supposed to of taken place around 1947. Phyllis's stepfather is James "Jim" McCallum. James mother and father were James S. McCallum and Daisy Mae McCALLUM - maiden name BROWN.... who were born in Michigan.. Can anyone related to this? God Bless Pam God Bless Pam

Hello Bonnie....... For starters...... why not tell us who your ancestor is...... There's several of us on this list that have a number of different Indiana databases...... I have looked in the 1860 Indiana Index and 1870 Indiana Index and can't find Calumet...... perhaps it was part of a different township at that time...... The following townships are in the bottom half of Lake Co. and you can rule them out....... Center, Cedar Lake, Crown Point, Winfield, Hanover, Lowell, West Creek, Schneider, Cedar Creek, Eagle Creek....... Interesting...... there is two [2] St John townships........ One of which is near Calumet...... You can probably rule out Dyer, Merrillville and Ross Townships........ I am sending you on a seperate e-mail a map of the Calumet area printed from my Travel Maps USA by Swift Jewel, CDR-724...... Note: There is a Calumet Aveune [running North & South in the left section of the map] Also, you cannot see it on this map..... however there is a "Little Calumet River running East and West...... just below Interstate 80 and a small community named Black Oak...... Calumet River crosses interstate 80 near Gary, IN and runs parrell to Interstate 94 and empties into Lake Michigan in Porter Co...... Hope this helps...

Okay, thank you, this is what I suspected. So the old Calumet, IN is now Calumet City, IL ?? Bonnie

Hi list Found an ancestor in the Civil War and his place of residence in 1862 is listed as Calumet, IN. There is no Calumet, IN today, so does anyone know where this town was then? Lake Cty? Is it now Calumet City, IL in Cook? Thanks Bonnie/IL

Calumet is just over the Indiana/Illinois border west of Hammond IN in South Chicago. There is also a Calumet Park in Chicago. > Hi list > > Found an ancestor in the Civil War and his place of residence in 1862 is > listed as Calumet, IN.

Hello Bonnie... Calumet City is in Cook Co., Illinois located along a railroad track....... West of East Chicago, South of Burnham and North of Hammond...... Per my Indiana Atlas & Gazetteer by DeLorme...... You need a detailed map of the Chicago, IL and East Chicago, IN to see the actual location...... There is a Calumet Township in the Gary, Indiana area per my Indiana Atlas & Gazetter by DeLorme...... Perhaps this is what your ancestor was refering too.....
