Franklin After graduation from high school, Charles M. Franklin served a hitch in the United States Navy. Upon his discharge, he entered Purdue University and was trained under the G. I. Bill as an entomologist. Later he began to work as an entomologist in Indianapolis, Indiana. Like many people around the time of the Bicentennial, he became interested in researching his own family tree. He quickly determined that searching for people was much more fun than searching for bugs. He began copying all early marriage records from his home county. Then, for his convenience, he typed his notes out and alphabetized or indexed them. He was intrigued by a flyer left at the Indiana State Library about a genealogy shop opening in Indianapolis in 1975. He tucked his records in the car and came to see what it had. Ray and Pat Gooldy, the owners, met him at the door and the three had a good conversation about his genealogical progress. Encouraged, he showed them what he had done for his Owen County ancestors. Shortly thereafter, he became a researcher/author transcribing records for the shop to publish. He held that job until he passed away on January 1, 2001. Mr. Franklin spent over twenty-five years of his life as a professional researcher. He took private clients for many years. He also worked for Ye Olde Genealogie Shoppe as a full-time professional researcher and an author of over 175 books that the shop still publishes continuously. During this period, he collected much of the material and wrote the above books as he traveled from court-house to courthouse. Gathering the information for the Indiana Wills Project took over three years and involved trips to every courthouse in Indiana. In eighteen cases, he had to stay up to two weeks to copy from the original books which had not been microfilmed at that time. He and Pat Gooldy, originator and editor of the Indiana Wills Project, spent over two months reading and spelling out the draft copy against the original wills data. Information that had been provided by Mr. Franklin. That material had been loaded on the computer was scrutinized and proofed in every detail. Eight wills that had been missing when the original draft was first numerically proofed were found during this process and loaded in the computer before the final run.. Never happier than when he was prowling around a dusty courthouse, he was untiring in his quest to obtain information for his clients and make sure his books were the best possible.. Participation in the National Archives' yearly seminar for genealogists was a highlight of the many educational events he attended. He was always adding to his professional credentials. He attended over a dozen seminars yearly. Mr. Franklin researched extensively in many states in the eastern half of the United States, but his first love, and most abiding interest, was in the abstraction of Indiana and Kentucky genealogical records. A lifetime of application to genealogical matters has resulted in a body of work that reflects well on him and his enthusiasm for his chosen profession.
