Please read! I've been down this road before, but no body listens. Naturalization records Only one comprehensive name index to Indiana naturalization records is available - An Index to Indiana Naturalization Records. This book, published by the Indiana Historical Society, consists of names compiled by WPA researchers from county court order books, which are the ledgers and volumes containing the records of all court decisions; it does not include names in <A HREF="http://www.in.gov/serv/icpr_naturalization"> naturalization record books,</A> which were specialized volumes containing only naturalization records. Court order books are considered critical records and must, by law, be retained in the county of origin; accordingly, the county clerk of court is the only source for records listed in this index. Naturalization books were not always considered critical records and some counties did not maintain or preserve them; of those that survive, a significant percentage were transferred to the State Archives, but others are still kept locally. No overall and, in many cases, no specific name indexes are available for them. Patrons can contact the State Archives about all these records, but they should keep in mind the distinction between the two. Very often, confusion about the location of the court order books arises, but the law is quite clear on the issue - copies must be retained locally, so the county clerk of court is the only source of information on records listed in An Index to Indiana Naturalization Records.

I have the Lake County Book of Naturalization Index 1854 to 1932. I don't have the page numbers handy but I have already looked them up I just need a copy for the records from the Lake County Court book that book that the court says they don't have that book that's supposed to be in Indianapolis and Indianapolis says the book is in Crown Point take care, Debbie

Hello, I am looking for someone in the area that would want to be a volunteer to do courthouse lookups (or any other lookups) in Lake county. I would like to get the Volunteer Lookups page going....plus I get requests a lot to do them and I won't deal with the courthouse. I've never had any luck with them, and hate telling people that I couldn't get anything for them...but if you have had luck here, and are interested in helping others with ancestors in our county, please please let me know. There is a huge need here! Here's another one I got today: "I tried requesting that the court house look up said marriage record, but they wrote back saying that they weren't staffed to do look ups. " If interested in being a volunteer, email me with "Lake co volunteer" in the subject line: Kathy [email protected]

Hello all, Someone wrote me asking where to find Naturalization records and described what happened when she tried. This is a common case scenereo when someone tries to get anything from Lake county, so I thought I would send it...just for fun. Lake counties circle of records: Book>Archives>Circuit court>Crown Point>Indianapolis>IRS>Library>Crown Point "I was wondering if you know where I might find Naturalization Papers for my gggrandfather. I have the book, the page number etc. but when I wrote archives said that it was from circuit court but when I contacted the Lake County Circuit court, they told me Crown Point. but Crown Point sent me number to call in Indianapolis that turned out to be IRS.

If anyone has suggestions for her, send them to Beth Orsi at [email protected] Kathy

****Still trying to put together information on my g grandmother Daisy Mae BROWN. She was born in Michigan. She married 1st James S. McCALLUM who was born 11 Jan 1865 in MI and died 31 Dec. 1818. I have 2 different versions of Daisy and James, 1: is that he died and Daisy remarried 2: is that they divorced in Hammond Indiana and Daisy remarried. Anyone having information regarding them please email me. ****Also looking for James S. McCALLUM parents and siblings. I believe his mothers maiden name was SHARP or SHARPE who I was told was born in Ireland. I do not have his fathers name. If anyone can make a connection please email me. ****Now, she is Daisy M. McCALLUM who married a Nathan Oliver SMITH born April 08, 1882 in Delaware, DELAWARE, OH, and died May 08, 1955 in Montgomery, BALDWIN, AL. He is buried in Mobile National Cemetery, Mobile, Alabama. Nathan 1st was married August 22, 1908 in Delaware County, OH. to a Synthia Donaldson and had 1 son and 1 daughter who died a few days after birth and then Synthia died 1 week later. Daisy married Nathan, maybe in MI or possibility is Hammond, IN. Would like to find out more on Nathan's parents and siblings. Please email me if you have a connection. ****Daisy and Nathan divorced and she married a Grant McGlaughlin I believe in Indiana. She had at sometime moved to Indiana. So did her sister daughters Agnes McCALLUM (SMITH- Nathan may have adopted her) and Frances McCALLUM (SMITH - Nathan did adopt her) and Mary Ellen McCALLUM (SMITH-Nathan may have adopted) who married a Kenneth J. HARTLERODE. Mary died in an automobile accident and Daisy raise her son. There was also a James Murray McCALLUM (SMITH- Nathan may have adopted) and Marguerite McCALLUM who died in infancy in 1918 and the last of the children as far as I know. Anyone having a connection please email me. **** One more thing, my grandmother Frances Louise McCALLUM -SMITH married a William Harry SKINNER. They had 1 daughter, Mary Ellen SKINNER-my mother. My mother married a Robert Wade TURNER who is my biological father. I was born in Hammond Indiana. I know that he lived there after the divorce for sometime, but also live in Whitley, Gary, Hessville Indiana. I believe he remarried but to who I do not know. I also think he may have had other children and may have adopted some from another marriage. I have been unable to find any information about this. He died young. If anyone can make a connection to this one please let me known Thank you for all of you help. It is greatly appreciated. I think sometimes this is not said enough. God Bless Pam

Any Horvath's out there from Lake County that came from Goncruszka or Hernadavecse ? cheryl BALOG wenberg

Thank you to everyone who respnded back to my question of LKWE from the 1860 census. I found who I was looking for, namely, a David Benjamin. His name was spelled Benjimine though, so it made it a bit harder to find. Does someone have access to the 1870 Indiana census index who could see if he is listed? I would really appreciate it. thanks again to a very helpful list, Maureen

>From an 1860 census index, could someone tell me if I'm correct in assuming that LK stands for Lake County, Indiana? If so what township would the WE stand for? thanks, Maureen

Anyone out there recognize the names of: BENCZE SEBESTYEN (or variations thereof) Hungarian villages being: Goncruszka Hernadavecse Korlat Thanks, cheryl BALOG wenberg [email protected] san diego

Cheryl, thanks for the census lookup, I am pretty sure you got the right one. Nana in Vermont

Cheryl, do you have the 1920 census for Lake county, Ind ? I am looking for someone to do a lookup in the 1920 census for me. Nana in Vermont
