No the Genealogy Division is not moving, just some archival material that researchers use in other parts of the Indiana State Library building. The newspaper division is also NOT moving, an area that I often use. So that's good news. I guess the only up side to this, is that MAYBE the genealogy division will get some more space. Jack

Jack You don't mean the Genealogy room at the state library is moving do you? I have not seen anything about. Joe

This is just a shot in the dark -- but I saw your posting that said in part: - - - - > George Young has a picture of this statue on his web site. Its from a well > known book of the area. Go here and scroll down...While you are there, if you > know any of the Young family...tell us that too; we would be so happy! > Carleen - - - - My great-aunt married Benjamin Gibson Young in Iowa after the Civil War. He had been born and raised in Virginia, was a Quaker, but must have believed deeply in the Union cause as he served twice in the Civil War. Near the beginning of the War, he had come from VA to Indiana -- served for Indiana -- then later for Iowa. That information came from one of his descendants -- and I believe that the entry below record his service for Indiana. His descendant says that Benjamin became ill, was discharged, and returned to Indiana before going on to Iowa to join a brother living there -- where he substituted for another man and went back to the war. I'm guessing that Benjamin Gibson Young (always known as "Gib" or "Gibson") had family in Indiana -- probably in the Peru area. Does anyone recognize these Youngs? ====== INDIANA SERVICE RECORD Residence Peru IN; Enlisted on 8/4/1862 as a Private. On 8/4/1862 he mustered into "C" Co.

Could someone lookup for me Samuel Graham who was in Daviess County sometime between 1800 and 1835? I would like to know the names of his children. I know one of them was Charles. Samuel's wife was Polly. Or could someone be so kind to let me know how to find out this information? Thank-you!! Susan Jones Arkansas

Could anyone please look for Nelson Graham born somewhere in Indiana at about 1823 and married Elizabeth Clouse in 1846 in Montgomery county? They then moved to Sullivan county. I cannot figure out who Nelson's parents were nor where in Indiana he was born. Any suggestions???? Thanks, Susan

I can't seem to log into your website. Thanks, Sharon

the archives were moved just recently, the State genealogy Library is updating, but I didn't hear about the Archives moving again. Teddy

Yes it was only friendly Teddy

If you had a name and a birthdate then it would take looking thru every county that IN has. Their is a unknown county site on the rootsweb.com, but only available when they have updated. Teddy

Greetings, Hi all, I wanted to give you a heads up. The biographies that I am typing I am going to post to this mail list only: in-rooters@listserv.genexchange.com I have been trying to share the wealth, and in doing so, I have double posted thinking I left someone out of the loop. It will be much easier for me to post to one place. So if you would like to join the mail list above, you will be able to keep reading the biographies. Thanks for reading, My Best, Lora, Jax, Fla

Am looking for information on Adam S. Wright b Aug. 26, 1840 in an unknown county of Indiana. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Shelly Galloway

Melanie, I found these three marriages for James Best..none to a Sarah but sometimes they have a middle name on the census. <A HREF="http://www.statelib.lib.in.us/www/indiana/genealogy/mirr.html">INDIANA MARRIAGES TO 1850</A> BEST JAMES to CATHERINE SHANNON FLOYD 2-2-1832 BEST JAMES to LANDRUM REBECCA JANE MARTIN 8-2-1841 BEST JAMES K to FRY MELINDA MORGAN 7-12-1843

Hello, Shelly If you have the nameof the person, and birthdate, I think you can eventually turn up Info. on them. Post the name and Bdate on Indiana List, if its Indiana. I do think its harder if its a woman. But with the name, and the bdate to verify the person..you can find them or a further clue...Just be persistant..Good luck, Alice ----- Original Message ----- From: <SChance47@aol.com> To: <INDIANA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, February 26, 2001 3:00 PM Subject: Re: [INDIANA] I'll do research in IN if you wish. > Is it possible to find a person if you have a birthdate, but no county? > Thanks. > > Shelly Galloway > > > ============================== > Shop Ancestry - Everything you need to Discover, Preserve & Celebrate > your heritage! > http://shop.myfamily.com/ancestrycatalog > >

Is it possible to find a person if you have a birthdate, but no county? Thanks. Shelly Galloway

Hi Teddy, I read your post (below), and would like to request, if I may, a death, obituary, and/or a burial/cemetery record......ANYTHING....regarding the death of my g-g-g-grandmother, Harriet (VAN ARSDOL....many other spelling variations) KENTON. I have not been able to locate any info on her death. I know that she and my g-g-g-grandfather, John A. KENTON lived in Jasper Co., IN for about 18- 20 years after they married in 1840 in OH and moved to IN soonafter. I found them in Jasper Co., IN on the1850 census, then in 1860, they were no longer there. John A. KENTON had moved to Olathe, Johnson, KS with his family, but Harriet was missing (as per 1860 KS census).
