    3. Kathy, In a perfect world everything would be there right at your fingertips instead of scattered to the winds. Since the various sources are in various locations usually, the "Indiana Counties, Surnames, Queries, Obituaries, and Biographies Online" now at: <http://vax1.vigo.lib.in.us/~jmounts/sqob.htm> helps to pull everything together.
