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.

Hi Daniel M. Ream,
Thanks for the information that you gave. It helped a lot.
Where did you get the information that Peter and Susana where the Father and Mother for James. This would be helpful to have vitrification for this information.

If anyone else can get or has information on the Staleys from Parke Co. I would be great full to get it.

Thanks again for the help so far.

Jenny, I live near the Marshall County library, so popped in to see what they had on your people. I found nothing about Sarah Cochran or Thomas Raydorn/Rayburn, but there were other Cochrans in Bourbon. Someday you may be able to tie them to Sarah.

Gilead Cemetery in Green Township:
“Father” James J. Cochran May 15, 1838 – Sep 5, 1903
“Mother” Amy A. Berry his wife May 31, 1842 – Dec 22, 1915

Parks Memorial IOOF Cemetery, Bourbon Township, Sec 1
Cochrun, F.M. d. Mar 30, 1888 age 32y, 1m, 28d

Cochrun, Christina D. d. Sep 6, 1906 age 69y, 10m, 13d
Cochrun, John d. Sep 1878 age 547, 11m, 16d

John and Christina are in the 1860 and 1870 census in Marshall Co.
A Mary C. Cochren, age 18, is in the Lighter household in the 1870 census.

Hope this helps someday!
