Today I talked with the wife of George Boyd, compiler of these land patents.. He is putting out about one book per week. His wife and in-laws are helping.. Mrs. Boyd told me that there is an online index for each book, so a person can scan the index before ordering a book. Here is the website.. _http://www.arphax.com/surnames/Arphax_Surnames_Putnam_IN.pdf_ (http://www.arphax.com/surnames/Arphax_Surnames_Putnam_IN.pdf) I did order one for Putnam Co. IN..
