Regarding birth & death cert for Allen Co.
No, things have not gotten any better. You need a photo ID and the reason
you want a copy for a death cert. You must show a direct interest in the
record and need the record to determine property rights.
For birth you need a picture ID and reason.
Things will probably not get any better because of the problem with ID theft
nationwide.
The Allen County Public Library is working with the board of health trying
to get birth & death records up to the 1940's on microfilm. The Allen
County Public Library does have death records up to 1932 and birth, I think
up to 1920 on microfilm.

was buried in Perry township. The other Married a Wm. Cooper also was
buried in Perry township. Eva died in 1856 leaving a will with Wm.
Cooper being the Ex. Is there a paper or some information of early
settlers that might help me?
Thank-you

Hello,
I am looking for information on the family of George SHOOKMAN who was living in Hoagland in 1907-1912.
He had at least two sons:
Ellis SHOOKMAN b.abt. March 1888
Marion F. SHOOKMAN b.23 Nov. 1889 who married Pearl SMITH
What was George's wife's name?
Were there any additional children?
How are Clyde SHOOKMAN, Mason SHOOKMAN, and Arlo SHOOKMAN related?
I believe George Shookman may have been related to my g.g.grandfather and would like to explore that possibility.
I would appreciate any help you are able to offer - and I would be happy to share/swap information on my line.
Thank-you,
Karla Staudt

"...but those memories I have will be gone all too soon,
leaving this world at the same time I do...
just as the memories of my grandfathers and great-grandmothers
left with them, and unless they are given and passed on,
it is as if those things had never been..."
In Indiana, that date is generally 1882 for most counties, as that's
when the state started requiring it. Of course, 100% compliance wasn't
immediate...

Jacqi,
First of all, always state that you are requesting the record for
"Genealogical purposes" and that you want the parents names. Many
locales have "long" forms and "short" forms.
Outside of that - often it depended on what the informant could tell the
records office about the person's parents. The more they knew, the more
information was entered. Also keep in mind that the person providing
the information was giving it at least second hand and may even have
been a grandchild, neighbor, etc. I have found more errors and
inconsistencies on death certificates than almost any other vital
record.
After all that - it wasn't until death records were "required" that they
became more consistent in containing the names of parents. In most
states this was sometime between 1880 and 1900, though many New England
towns kept vital records as early as the 1700's.

Hello,
Wondering if anyone could give me advice on something that I discovered
when sending for a death cert in another state. I usually send for these
to obtain the deceased person's parents' names. However, not all
locations provide this info consistently over the years.
Would I be able to obtain parent's names if I sent for the following in
Indiana:
birth certificate for dates around 1850s and 1860s?
death certificates for dates around 1880s?
Do marriage certs/records in Indiana provide parents' names at all in
1880s?
Knowing this would definitely help in deciding whether it is worth
sending for these documents! tia, Jacqi

Hi Colleen.
I don't find any Jarvis or Howard's connected to my families. Quite a few
families migrated up from Wilkes county in the early 1800's when Indiana was
opened with land grants from the goverment. My lines from there, the Powells
and Wilcoxsons came in through Randolph county, Indiana, finally settleing
in Wells and Allen counties.
I haven't really looked closely at any N.C. resources, just Indiana county
histories and family books and others researching the same names. Sorry I'm
not much help to you

I am new to this list. On the SSDI I just found a BENJAMIN WINDELL that died in Fort Wayne, Allen, In. Sept. 1968. I was hoping someone on the list may be researching this family. Or if someone would tell me how to obtain a copy of his obituary and possibly death certificate. Any help would be greatly appreciated. You could email me privately at dawfen@ CQservices.com .

Hi Barbara,
As soon as I clicked send on my last message it dawned on me that we were
both members of the OZY site. I didn't know that Don decends from Mason
Powell though. Guess that makes Don and I cousins. Through what child of
Mason does Don decend from? Between Bill, also on the OZY site, and myself,
I guess you have most of the Powell information. Mainly from Bill.
I have done no research on the Wood line as it's not my direct line but I
have in my files quite a few of the Woods census pages from 1850 - 1880 in
Wells county. If there any of them that you need, let me know and I'll post
them on the OZY site.
I haven't heard of the Woods book I did a search of the Allen County Public
Library web site and couldn't find it there either.

Brian, my ancestors, the JARVIS & HOWARD families, also came to Indiana from
Wilkes Co, NC, in the mid 1830's. They went to Rush Co & then migrated up to
Howard Co in 1850. I'm wondering if there's any connection to your POWELL
family? I still need to search Wilkes Co NC more thoroughly. Have you found
any good resources?

Hi Brian: Yes, Don decends from Mason Powell. His grandmother is Zeffa and
her father is Mason. I have been collecting bits and pieces from the OZY
site and have seen your name there. Good to hear from you and hope we will
keep in touch. Was in the Ossian area this last May/June, taking pictures
at the cemetery and asking about a historian. Talked with the postmistress
in Yoder and she gave us a name, Sandy Houlihan. So far all I have is that
there is a Gloria Goeglein who wrote a book about the Woods as she is from
Yoder and was living in Ft. Wayne. But she has passed away and I wrote her
husband and received no response. Wondered if you had seen the book. I
have asked Tom McGinnis, and Marjorie Keintz if they had heard about it.
Both said they hadn't. Happy Hunting ! Barbara

Thank you Kevin for your offer. I am researching my husband's family. I am
certain that there were those that died in the war, but not known if they
were imprisoned there in Andersonville. The surnames are Woods, Powell,
Foulks, and McCorkle living in Allen Co. In and Columbiana Co. Oh, and
Wilkes Co. Pa. Any help would be appreciated. Barbara Erbele Woods my

There is a police museum in the basement of the "Allen County-Fort Wayne
Historical Society". Their web page is listed under Allen Co. links on the
Allen Co. GenWeb page.

I am researching my husband's STEVENS line in Ft Wayne, where John Kelly STEVENS d 1929. He served for many years as a patrolman there.
My husband, who is also in law enforcement, works for an agency that has a local historian who keeps data, old photographs and memorabilia of our sheriff's department, including publication of books on the subject.
Seeing his relative served for many years in Fort Wayne, I was wondering if there is any such person or group for the Ft Wayne Police Dept. Does anyone know how I might find out about that? Or can anyone provide me the address for the Ft Wayne police dept? We'd like to see if there is any history collection re: local police work that might include his name, etc. tia, Jacqi
