Dear Joseph, My grandmother was born in 1902. At that time Birth Certs. were issued at the attending doctor's place of residence. This doctor was Garrigus who resided in Parke County. I found it odd that my gran wouldn't have been registered in the county of birth. Not at all sure of when the courthouse burned...do know all records were destroyed. Parke County did have a site on line...don't know it offhand, but they might have the info. Regards, Elaine.
