Would it be possible for you to send this to people on your mail list or to people you know that do genealogy in Indiana? I would really appreciate it. Thanks, Darlene Anderson IGS East Central District Director Henry County INGENWEB ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There is proposed legislation to prohibit public access to vital records for the state of Indiana! House Bill (HB) 1540 can be read online at http://www.in.gov/legislative/bills/2003/IN/IN1540.1.html Some of the language in HB 1540 is: "h. When one hundred (100) years has elapsed after the date of birth, the records of those events in the custody of the state or local registrar shall become available to the public....." There is much more to read concerning HB 1540. Have I gotten your attention yet? I sure hope so and I hope that each and every one of us contacts our legislators about this. We've got to contact our legistatures immediately telling them of our opposition regarding HB 1540 as genealogists and family historians. Please read on: In this morning's Indianapolis Star in Section B City & State on page 3, House Bill 1540 is listed for Hearing on Wednesday morning at 10:30 from the Public Health Committee. Our emails and phone calls to legislators will need to start immediately with follow up letters in the mail on Monday! Express your opposition to proposed HB 1540 adopting new privacy standards for Indiana's public vital records! Even if you live outside the state of Indiana you may be affected by this HB. This applies to all of us - If we, at some point, wish to become a member of an organization that requires us to prove our lineage and HB 1540 becomes a law we will not have access to birth or death records to do this. Our desire to become a members of any organization that requires us to prove our lineage may be in jeopardy! Please contact the persons that have authored this proposed legislature. The site where you can find email address for IN Representatives is http://www.in.gov/cgi-bin/legislative/contact/contact.pl We are all concerned about identity theft. The state of Indiana requires information from us that should safeguard the issues of theft identity. Please contact your representatives by email, phone and follow-up with a letter.

Title: The Hollingsworth genealogy of Randolph and Wayne counties, Indiana Author: Cyrus Hollingsworth Published 1972 20 pages I have been trying to borrow this book through the Interlibrary Lending program but the libraries that have it apparently are not willing to lend it through that program. (Morrison Reeves library has a copy that circulates). Does anybody have a copy that I could either borrow or purchase ? Don Scantland

I am researching William J. FOSTER, wife Elizabeth and family who lived in WAYNE COUNTY sometime between 1828 & 1838 In 1828 they were in Warren Co., OH where daughter Margaret B. Foster was born. We have the 1830 census record of a William J. FOSTER in Fayette Co. IN. The record has five individuals. Three fit William J.(age 30), wife Elizabeth (age 28) and daughter Margaret (age 2). Unknown is a male less than five and a second unknown male age 30-40. Although no township is named, later census of neighbors show that the 1830 census township is Posey, Fayette Co. IN In 1835 a daughter Anna "Ann" FOSTER was born, maybe WAYNE COUNTY In 1836 a son Isaac Henry FOSTER born on 24 Oct 1836 in WAYNE COUNTY In 1838 they moved to Hendricks Co. IN Does anybody see any connections with your data? Bob Foster

I have searched the newspaper archives on-line through the Morrison-Reeves Library (a wonderful source for those of you who have not found it), however I still have not been able to find an obituary for my ancestor who died in the 1870's. Does anyone know of any other sources for obituaries for Wayne Co? Are there newspapers from that time period that Morrison-Reeves does not have that I might find elsewhere? Thanks for any help.
