    1. Huntington research
    2. My sister and I just got finished with a whirlwind tour of Indiana counties working on ancestors. Really did enjoy our visit to the Indiana room at the public library. Lots of work space and wonderful sources. Also visited the courthouse where we had access to all the original wills. Did not make many copies cause just hard to handle the large books on the copy machine and at $1 a page, couldn't afford too many mistakes. Did however do lots of writing. Bring some male company with you unless you are comfortable with climbing a roller latter to get the BIG books down that are stacked about 10 feet high. We stayed in a Comfort Inn that was not far out of town and there was a Bob Evans restaurant in the parking lot so very convenient. The Indiana room has obituaries indexed - not just the name but the actual obit and copies there are only 20 cents. This was great. I also enjoyed all the city directories. If I had had more time, I would have enjoyed the old high school year books but got done, what I could. Not all the counties were as genealogy friendly as Huntington but this one was wonderful. Take care Marilyn
