Hi all, I am new to the list and really only signed up because I am looking for my brother. Can some kind soul out there look in some phone books and see if you can come up with a Craig A. Donnelly? His last known whereabouts was in Griffith, IN. He could possibly be in Hammond now. I was 12 when our father died and I last saw Craig. That was many moons ago and I was sent to California to live with my older sister so I lost touch with Craig. Ricky Donnelly, about age 36 would work as well. That would be my nephew. I have tried the internet, but have not come up with a thing. Thanks in advance. Cindi Donnelly-Watson

Hi List I'm new to this list as I've been steered here for a marriage certificate for my grandmother who may have married in Crown Point, Indiana, in 1906. I've been told this was the place to go for the "quickie" marriages. My grandmother, ETHEL SPRAGUE, born 1891 in Iowa, was married sometime in 1906 to WILLIAM NELSON, born circa 1885 in NY. Can anyone out there help me out? direct me to a source for this info? I'd be very appreciative of any help or tips available.

I am looking for a Robert Moffat / Moffett who married a Phyllis McCallum in Hammond Indiana. I believe they divorced around 1947. Robert was a deacon in a Baptist Church and should be around 73 years old today if alive. He may have gone to Fordsville, Ohio Cy., Ky. His mother's name is Mary ? fathers name is Jim McCallum. However after a divorce Mary married Orrie Moffat and raised him most of his life. So Robert took on his last name as Moffat. Does any of this fit into anyone's line? God Bless Pam
