Hello Jon: I'm new to the e-mail list, so I've been waiting to read the e-mail to kind of get a notion what the content of the list is going to be like. But yours is the first I have recieved. I am very interested in the main topic of the list because I have many ancestors buried in Indiana. Even a few in Old Auburn, DeKalb County, who were the first or among the first pioneers to settle there. I know this is not a genealogy list, but my keen interest in Indiana is because of my Indiana relatives and ancestors, so to me, there is no separation in my mind between the history and the genealogy because my ancestors lived and created that history. I have so much to learn, but eventually I would like to find members of the list who would be willing to share what they know about the history of those cemeteries or who could give me advice on where to find information. I printed out the INPCRP petition and am having my friends and family sign it before I mail it back. The petition and the great Web site are the reasons I decided to join the list. The Web site is fantastic! And I found it by accident. Here's to happy accidents, Cheryl
