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.

Send me the info (via email) you are seeking for Cornwall Brown. I'll be going to the Marion County (Indpls, IN) clerk's office in the next week or two. I'll see if I can find your answers.

Comment by Keith Hunter on November 8, 2012 at 2:35pm: Sally,

I'm not a member of the Dreiser family, but I do make periodic trips to Kosciusko County (Silver Lake & Warsaw). Contact me directly and let me know what info to research on my next trip.

Comment by sally risser-cleghorn on November 8, 2012 at 1:30pm: i'm researching the Dreiser family (as in Theodore and his brother, Paul Dresser) and collateral lines in Indiana. They lived in Terre Haute, Evansville, Sullivan, Silver Lake, and Warsaw - all in the mid to late 1800s. Some of the collateral lines are Schnapp(Snepp, etc) and Straub(also many alternative spellings. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated and i'm certainly willing to share what i have.

Timothy and Susan are buried in the Old Gilead Cemetery as well as Henry & Laura Baker. Timoothy's father was also named John Baker & he is also buried in the old Gilead Cemetery. He died April 23rd, 1867. I would love to find out any information on this set of Baker's. Thanks,

Comment by Gayle Nyberg on June 3, 2010 at 5:59pm: I am in need of a record of death for Cornwall J Brown.
(Death Cert., Newspaper article, obit, etc.)
He lived in Indianapolis, Marion Cty in Indiana.
(Other possible spellings: Cornel, Conwell, Cornwell, or John)

I can find him on the 1920 census, but not the 1930 census.

He was born in Jan 1857 in Ohio. I am assuming he died about 1924-1925
His wife was Della (maiden name unknown) Brown.

His father was Benjamin Franklin Brown.
Can anyone help me? ...

Comment by Barbara Paulus-Marshall on June 1, 2010 at 7:21pm: Jesse Drake came from Lexington, KY to what later became Cass TWP, Ohio CO, Indiana about 1797. By 1821, he had bought land in Decatur CO and lived there until about 1840. He wasn't on the 1840 Census in Decatur CO, IN, but he and his wife Jane sold land there in 1845. Does anyone know when he died and where he is buried? Three probably children of Jesse are Benjamin & Dillard Drake and Martha Drake who married William Ross, Jr. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
