Where to Post

I'm trying to organize things a bit so I've made threads in the Discussion Forum for each county. If you know where the people you are researching lived, please post your queries, information, etc. in the appropriate thread/county. If you don't know where in Indiana the people you are researching lived or if they lived in multiple counties, go ahead and post to the Comment Wall below. Also, if you feel your post is urgent or you want it to be viewed by the whole group, post to the Comment Wall. As always, everyone is also still welcome to start their own discussion threads.

Since Genealogy Wise doesn't allow the option of displaying ALL Discussion Forum threads, some won't appear below. If you don't see the county or discussion that you are looking for below, click on "View All" in the bottom right of the Discussion Forum and you should be able to
find it there. Thanks!

Due to spamming fears, I am (for the time being at least) disabling the option of messaging the whole group. If you have a message you would like passed on to the whole group, get in touch with me. If you receive a spam message in your Genealogy Wise inbox along the lines of "Win a Cruise" please get in touch with me right away and I will take care of it. Thanks and sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Anne,
Was your grandmother Mary Goepper?

I am researching GIVEN, SINGER families in Switzerland County, GOEPPER, WHITEHEAD families in Marion County. I have one family mystery that I am trying to solve. At age 17, my grandmother was married to an unknown man. His picture is posted in my Unknowns album. I believe his name is Marion Smith from Connersville, IN. I have yet to find a marriage certificate to confirm this yet. We think she was married in 1923 and divorced in 1924. Marions mother was German and Mary Goepper's father was German so I think that is how they met. The German community in Indiana was a tight knit group. That and relatives of Mary's mother lived close to Marion and his parents. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My mother's side of the family tree are all from Indiana, Hendricks and Boone. Most were farmers. I hope to go to Indiana this coming winter and do some on site work.

I research Pigg in Sullivan, Greene and Vigo Counties, Lewis in Orange, Brinson and Keithley in Switzerland, and Smith in Hendrix, all before 1900. In particular, I would like to find proof of which John Pigg is buried at Antioch Cemetery, Sullivan County, died 1878. I research a John Pigg who was in Sullivan County in 1870.

My great grandfather was Alpha Buckley (1813-1875). He was married to Elizabeth (1817-1893). Alpha was a member of the very first Peru (Miami County) City Council in 1867 and was elected again in 1870. Does anyone have any information on Alpha or where I might find more information about Peru city government in those days?

American Genealogist in Paris,
This would be a hard one to find, since IN did not become a state until 1816. The IN searchable databases do not go back to that time. You may try searching for or under Indiana Territorial papers or Northwest Territory. If I find something, I will post a link.

American Genealogist in Paris,
This might help you. This site is for Indiana Marriages through 1850.
