Hello Sharon............ There is a Nathan OSBORN, age 35, B: Indiana, single and living with another family in the 1850 Porter Co., IN, Essex TWP, page 121-B......... However........ do you mean the 1860 Lawrence Co., IN census images????? The entry that you are refering to is Nathan OSLIM and his family........ Page #851, Family and Dwelling #'s 883........... Page #99 that you are refering to..... is the census takers numbering system....... In this case Alex ?? took the censusfor all of Marion TWP...... his page #'s are 1 thru 126........... The 851 page # is the numbers that were assigned in the office....... In this case census page #'s 753 thru 878....... the ones that are referred to in the census indexes........ Since you have mentioned Ancestry.com..... I assume that you are a subscriber........ Using their Census Index........ did you know that you have all kinds of options available....... i.e. you can search by "Given" name only........ Of course in using that method you probably would want to narrow down your search to a specific county...... Also.... you can do a search by page number only..... in the above case you will find Nathan OSLIM listed....... Don't forget to check the "Soundex" box when you're having problems finding the person that you are looking for........... My copy of the Lawrence Co., IN film is real clear....... I am using Heritage Quest Census Image CD's....... I have looked at lots and lots of films at the Seattle Branch of the National Archives..... Some of the films are great.... others just so so...... and yet others are next to impossible to read............ Heritage Quest has filtered out lots of the blotches, marks, etc..... Over all.... the Heritage Quest CD's are a lot better than using the microfilms......... Hope this helps and good luck........

Would anyone on the list have access to the 1850 census of Lawrence County, IN to do a lookup on a Peter Baufle family. He reportedly lived there from ca 1850 to 1892 dying 3 August 1892 in Tunnelton, Lawrence County, IN. Thank you. Sharon Washington State

Hi List, In two weeks, my dad and I will be going to the Allen County Public Library in Ft. Wayne, IN - the second largest place for genealogy records in the U.S. Just to let you know I will take requests to do a lookup for either census, death index, birth index, or marriage index. I will, however, request a contribution to defray costs of copies and postage. Please include the county and state; I am on more than one mailing list. Thanks. Monica

I have been trying to unsubscribe from this list for the last 6 months. My e-mail doesn't give the option of blocking addresses. Does anyone have any idea how I can get off this list? I've tried everything I can think of and still get the e-mails. Thank you for your help! On Sat, 15 Sep 2001 [email protected] wrote: [NON-Text Body part not included]

Saturday, September 22, 2001, the Morgan County History and Genealogy Association will host a tombstone repair/resetting/cleaning workshop. The workshop will take place at the Mahalasville Cemetery, southeast of Martinsville at 1:00 in the afternoon. John Walters of Fayette County, noted tombstone repairman and recoverer, will present it. He will be showing us how to repair tombstones, how to reset them and clean them. The Mahalasville Cemetery is located as follows: SOUTHBOUND S.R. 37 at Martinsville (first stoplight is at S.R. 44; second stoplight is at S.R. 252, third stoplight is Mahalasville Road) to Mahalasville Road; turn left onto Mahalasville Road, go about 5 miles to Voyles Road and turn left there.

NORTHBOUND S.R. 37 at Martinsville (first stoplight is Burton Lane; second stoplight is Mahalasville Road) to Mahalasville Road; turn right onto Mahalasville Road, go about 5 miles to Voyles Road and turn left there.

My husband's ancestors are Cicero Joseph Worthington and Jane Osborn, who married on 22 Nov 1866 in Lawrence Co IN. Now I'm trying to put together Jane's family. Here are some theories based on other early Lawrence Co marriages, discounting variant spellings.

Pat, I received the following from JaSEn. Apparently they are short staffed. The following is from the Lawrence Co.,IN Health Department, 2419 Mitchell Road, Bedford, IN 47421-4731 - Phone: 812-275-3234 BRIEF EXPLANATION OF LAWRENCE COUNTY RECORDS, PRIMARILY FOR GENEALOGY RESEARCH BIRTH AND DEATH RECORDS for Lawrence County, Indiana are filed the office of the Lawrence County Health Department. They begin with the year 1882; there are NO records before that year and the early records are not complete. The records are indexed alphabetically, by year; they are filed by individual names, not by families. In order to locate a record of birth or death, if such OCCURRED in Lawrence County, the following information is needed. FOR BIRTHS: 1) Full name at birth, 2)approximate year of birth, 3)parents, if known. Early birth records, 1882-1908, are indexed by last name ONLY, no first names are shown in the index. For instance: you are searching for "John Smith", born about 1885. We normally search 5 years for a record - the year you mention, 2 years before and 2 years after. so, for "John Smith" we would search 1883 - 1887. In our index for those years, there are 28 SMITHS with no first name shown. We must then search the individual record books to see if date, parents or other information can identify the particular record you are seeking. As you can see, searching for just one name can consume much time and, even the, the record might not be located. Please send as much, and as specific information as possible. FOR DEATHS: 1)Full name at death 2) approximate year of death. Most of our local death records between 1945 and 1991 contain NO FAMILY INFORMATION..for this information, you can contact: Vital Records, Indiana State Department of Health, 2 N. Meridian Street, Indianapolis, IN 46206 or (insert URL). There fee is $4.00 for a search of five years and one copy of the record, if found. Their records begin in approximately 1907. The fee for a birth certificate is $2.00, death certificate is $3.00 per copy. We DO NOT ACCEPT PERSONAL CHECKS. It is best if you send names and dates before sending any money. We will search to see if the record can be located and inform you of any charges. Since information varies with the individual books used during a particular time periods, please state what information you would like the certificate to contain, if the record is available. MARRIAGE RECORDS for Lawrence County are filed in the Lawrence county Clerk's Office, Court House, Bedford, IN 47421. They begin with the year 1818 but show no parents of applicants until 1887. the Clerk's fee is $2.00 per copy and MALE applicant's name and approximate date of marriage are needed to locate a record of marriage. Also in the Clerk's Office are estate records beginning with the year 1818. The name of the deceased person is needed to locate these records. DEEDS and LAND GRANTS beginning with the year 1819, are filed in the Lawrence County Recorder's Office, Court House, Bedford, IN 47421. To locate these records, correct spelling of names, location in the county (township, if known), and approximate dates are needed. Their fee is based on the number of pages copied for each record. The Recorder's Office also has Military Records. LAWRENCE COUNTY Genealogical Society: c/o Lawrence County Museum, Court House, Bedford, IN 47421. They have some cemetery records, some Lawrence County family books, some marriage records, and general genealogical information. Please understand that each of the above offices are very limited in personnel and amount of time available to search their records. Current office business must take precedence over genealogical searches and we regret that we are unable to do extensive family research. We can search for ONLY those records which are identified by specific names (first and last) and approximate years of birth or death (within 5 years of correct date). If you are just beginning to do genealogical research and do not know where to find the information not included in the above office, contact you local library or Internet resources, for instructions on how and where to find genealogical information.

I wondered if my case is typical? I sent a letter in June to each of the two Lawrence Co IN Historical Societies. One at 12 Courthouse Museum and one at 1617 M St. I enclosed a SASE with my request for obit and other info on John DISHMAN. Here it is September and have not even received a reply in my own SASE that they "will" or "won't" help me. I wonder if anyone else has had this experience? Just curious about how some counties are so helpful and others ignore requests. Pat Johnson in Fort Collins, Colorado
