Here are some of your answers:
Eleanor Roop's (m. Henry Lawrence Bieberich) parents were Harley Jay Roop
and Goldie A.J. Butcher m. Jan 2 1917. Her paternal grandparents were Frank
and Anna(Barth) Roop m. Feb 19 1882. Harley had a brother Charley John
Roop. Other children of Harley and Goldie were Harley Jr (m. Norma R. Smith
1940), Pauline, and Lawrence.
Frank Roop came to Decatur IN from Dixon OH. Harley's wife
Goldie died early and he remarried Nettie Smith and had 3 children: Sarah,
Lawrence and Orville. I didn't see a Nettie Hart listed anywhere.
Sorry - no other dates given. This is from the 1979 History of Adams County

Hello Fellow 'Rooters!
I'm searching for an Indiana divorce record for someone that falls
somewhere between 1874 and 1880. Does anyone know if a divorce back
then had to be filed in the same county where the marriage took place?

I recently received some information from the 1998 Adams Co, IN Death Index
and wondered if anyone recognized the names and could tell me who their
parents were. I'm pretty sure they are all kin to the Roop family that
lived in Van Wert Co, OH and/or Adams Co, IN, but I would like to find the
connection.

Hi All, I am going to Decatur next weekend to do some research (only have 2
days). Was wondering what type of records they have in the Sheriff's
basement? And, would the sheriff's dept. be the place to go to find arrest
records, etc. on someone who was always being arrested? Yes, yes, he was
described as the baddest man in town (Decatur Democrat) and he belongs to
me<G>...
Thanks,
Leslie
Looking for information on my gggrandmother, Elizabeth KEMP(T) ROOP.

d. 22 Dec 1891, Decatur, IN
The couple were living in Adams Co by 1850, according to the census. After
living in the area for forty years, there should be an obit or something on

Elizabeth and Joseph had the following children:
1. Sarah Ann Roop (1836, Adams Co, IN-1897, DeWitt, AR) m. William N. SMITH,
then John W. ANDREW, then Isaih FELLERS

Just a note to let you Adams County residents of the efforts of one
of your local residents.
I was born and raised in Adams Co. Most of my family branches are
from that area. I moved away some time ago and it is hard to do any local
research at the libraries and courthouses.
A local lady, Gloria Schindler, has been making copies, collecting
data for me and has refused any compensation, even for postage. She does
this, evidently, out of the goodness of her heart.
Gloria, I don't know if you are a member of this list......but you
are a real "angel" and have restored my faith in humanity......thanks...
