I am passing the following along. It is a snip of an email posted on the Indiana-L list and I thought it might be of interest to someone. I post this with permission of Mr. Sam Cline. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~insert~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ County boundary changes can be very important in determining where our ancestors > located. For instance, present day Morgan County is not the original Morgan > County. Land west of Mill Creek was transferred by the Indiana Legislature to > Putnam County and several sections of land in the northern part of the original > Morgan County were transferred to Hendricks County. If you are searching for > records for your ancestors in Putnam and Hendricks Counties and find none--the > records they left behind may very well be recorded in Morgan County. Also, > prior to the creation of Morgan County the area now included in Morgan County > was attached to Monroe County for legal and civil purposes. Debra Carter tara37@comsys.net
