Fellow genealogists, Effective immediately, there is a new Rootsweb list for genealogists and historians with an interest in south central Indiana counties including: Brown, Bartholomew, Clark, Crawford, Floyd, Harrison, Jackson, Lawrence, Monroe, Orange, Scott and Washington. These counties coincide with the south central district as defined by the Indiana Genealogical Society. The name of the new list is IN-SOUTH-CENTRAL. As you are no doubt aware, many of the same families either lived in various counties in the south central district of Indiana or left descendants who lived in the counties. By having one general list for the south central district, in addition to the individual county lists already in place, it is thought we can combine what we know and enrich the information. With the exception of the INMONROE Rootsweb list for Monroe County, a list that has been active for more than eleven years with more than 45,000 items archived, my contribution to all other counties in the south central district will be sent to the IN-SOUTH-CENTRAL list. I plan to share genealogical or historical information with the IN-SOUTH-CENTRAL each day. Each item will be documented and the primary county or counties will be noted in order to facilitate recovery of county-relevant information when searching the archives. I hope that you will join me in making the IN-SOUTH-CENTRAL one of the strongest lists on Rootsweb. I hope that you will feel comfortable sharing your research, either what you have done yourself or from documents you may have discovered. Additionally, I hope you will leave queries that may help you make contact with others who are researching the same lines. To subscribe to the list, send an e-mail mail to IN-SOUTH-CENTRAL-L-request@rootsweb.com with the single word subscribe in the message subject and body. To join IN-SOUTH-CENTRAL-D, do the same thing with IN-SOUTH-CENTRAL-D-request@rootsweb.com. For questions about this list, you can contact me directly.
