Still looking for Nancy Baker, born 1832 in Shelby. She probably married or died between July 1850 and January 1856, probably in Shelby or a bordering county. The family lived in Hendricks twp. in 1850. A sister married in Johnson Co. in 1851. It's possible that she used an unknown middle name to marry. The girls in this family often switched their names around. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Jim . . James R. Baker Jr.. Free Genealogy Databases: http://www.jrbakerjr.com . .

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Clark Sleeth STOVER of Winterroud, Indiana which was taken at the G.A. Goodrich Studio in Shelbyville, IN. The photograph was taken when Clark was just 4 month old and weighed 19 lbs. I'm guessing that the photograph was taken sometime in the 1880's. I'm hoping to see the photograph returned to family. If you are a member of this family, or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

I wonder how many out there have great ideas or tools for handling genealogy materials. I bought a "mail box" at an auction at a school, which was closing. It was evidently hung on the wall outside the principal's office, with notices or mail for each teacher, and is about 5 feet tall and 12 inches wide and 4 inches deep, made of lightweight metal, like a light file cabinet is. It has 17 slots. I have used it while making a notebook out of each family's materials. When I 'm not using it, it stores behind the door. When I am using it, I lean it against a bookcase next to my computer desk, within easy reach. Small refrigerator magnets, holding a family member's name and number in order of birth, placed on the side visible to me, helps me identify each family member's file slot. Before I bought this handy mail box, I was utilizing our card table, plus one small table on wheels, to spread out and collate my family lines, and with some families with 10 to 15 children, it was not very handy, and I never had enough room.

I just finished transcribing and uploading to my website, the 1850 Census for prisoners in the Indiana State Penitentiary. It lists the name, age, race, place of birth, date entered the prison, crime committed and if literate or not. Jim . James R. Baker, Jr. Free Genealogy Databases: http://www.jrbakerjr.com . .

Were they married in New Jersey? From the census, I can't see that any of their children ever married. Any information on this family would really be appreciated. Thanks.
