Ancestry.com posted these a week ago on their site. I found 3 family members, but none for 2 others in Marine & Navy. However, I discoverd it was for only Army & no Marine or Navy records. How do I find Ancestry's website for Marine & Navy Enlistments during WW2 ? Thank you very much, Marine45

I've "rescued" and old photograph of Harry ELDRIDGE which was taken at the Staples Studio in Indianapolis, Indiana. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's with Harry likely in his teens at the time. Based on limited research I was able to find Harry ELDRIDGE son of E. H. & S. Sallie ELDRIDGE living in Indianapolis, IN during the 1880 census. The census records for the family are as follows: E. H. ELDRIDGE, age 35, b. MA, Lumber Dealer, parents b. in MA S. Sallie ELDRIDGE, wife, age 29, b. PA, Keeping House, parents b. in PA Harry ELDRIDGE, son, age 8, b. IL Willie ELDRIDGE, son, age 7, b. IL Bertha ELDRIDGE, dau, age 5, b. IN Mollie RYAN, servant, age 24, b. OH, parents b. in Ireland I'm hoping to locate someone from Harry's family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to its rightful place with family. If you are a member of this family, or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

I found him in the 1865 city directory I own. Bohman, Peter, bar-tender, Washington Hall saloon, bds, same. No other Bohmans listed nor Bohrmans. They do not list family members with this book. but you have a bar name now. dj :)

Seeking a source for a obituary for a Albert Alonzo Garrett who supposedly died in the Indianapolis area on Jan 16 1939. Sources for other information as to Mr Garrett such as city directories would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

I am compiling a genealogy that includes Amy VANDERPOOL (ca 1799-1850-60) who married Thomas SWIFT (1789-1864). They removed to Marion County, Indiana about 1830 from North Carolina. Additional surnames include: BRADY, HOOPER, HUFFMAN, JAYNE, ROBERTS, HOWARD, and TRESTER. I will be happy to exchange information or more details and sources on these lines Descendants of Thomas SWIFT --------------------------------------- 1. Thomas SWIFT was born in 1789 in North Carolina. He served in the military in 1812 [War of 1812] in Ashe County, North Carolina. USA. He was buried in 1864 in Swift Graveyard, Wynnedale, Washington Township, Marion County, Indiana. He died on 25 Aug 1864 in Marion County, Indiana.1 He had his estate probated on 25 Nov 1864 in Marion County, Indiana.2 Thomas SWIFT and Amy VANDERPOOL were married about 1816 in probably Ashe County, North Carolina. Amy VANDERPOOL3 (daughter of Abraham VANDERPOOL and Phoebe ISAACS) was born about 1799 in South Carolina. She died between 1850 and 1860 in Marion County, Indiana.

Would someone be kind and lookup a death date for Carrie HUDSON. She was listed in 1920 census, but not 1930, so I am assuming she died in that timespan. Thank you very much! Marcia TX

I'm interested in corresponding with anyone connected to the RAFERT family. As far as I can tell anyone with the surname RAFERT is descended from one of two brothers, William and Henry Rafert. Henry (1800-c1891) came to the U.S and settled in Indianapolis in the 1840s. His older brother William (1797-1886) arrived with his family in 1852. The name in Germany was originally RÖWER, but was Americanized to RAFERT in this country. Other surnames intermarried with the RAFERTs include WILHARM, STEIERBERG, OSTERMEYER, BRANDT, CLAFFEY, QUACK, RUGENSTEIN, WALLIS, and many others. Please email me directly, visit www.rafert.org and/or join or mailing list by sending "subscribe" to rafert-l-request@rootsweb.com (mail mode) or rafert-d-request@rootsweb.com (digest mode). Most of my online information pertains to the William Rafert (1797-1886) line, but I'm very interested in learning more about the Henry Rafert (1800-c1891) line. I'm also interested in corresponding with others who's family came from the village of Meinsen, Schaumburg-Lippe. It appears that several families from that village and the surrounding area came to Indianapolis in the mid-1800s. Thanks! Joel www.rafert.org

Hi Jan, I don't know anything about your Fitchey's. But here is what I did to find my lost ancestors in Indy. 1) Look up your Karl/Carl in city directories until he disappears. He probably died. Then you get an estimated year. 2) Go to http://maps.google.com/. Type in the last address from the city directory. 3) Just after the SEARCH button are 3 small links: Search the Map, Find businesses, Get Directions. Click FIND BUSINESSES. 4) Type in cemetery in the next search field. It will give you cemeteries within a 6-10 mile radius of that address. 5) Start calling the cemeteries to find out if your Karl is there. You can give them a vague year from your city directory search. Good luck! Cheri Mello Torrance, CA

That's a familiar name. My dad was a machinist. He didn't talk much about what he did (like so many during those years) but he did talk about the other men there, and sometimes about the bosses.
