You are correct. IA was the abbreviation for Indiana for many years.

If I recall correctly, way back when, some census records used IA s an
abbreviation for Indiana. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

Hello John,
I have no information on the Troutman family. I just wanted to let you
know that the address for her should be Fort Wayne, IN, not IA as that is
the abbreviation for the state of Iowa. I know some of our state
abbreviations are confusing--even to us, but using IN may help you find her
easier if you are looking online.
Hope you are still having sunny weather.

Hello the list,
First time from a sunny but windy Spring day on the River Great Ouse in
Cambridgeshire UK.
I am trying to find any living relative of EMMA TROUTMAN who as a girl in
1884, lived at 120 East Wayne Street. Fort Wain. IA.
I believe she was born in OH in 1868. Mother MARY and Father JOHN, who
came from BADEN and PRUSSIA respectively. Father was a policeman so probably
moved around.
!
My reason for this search id that I have a Bible given to EMMA as a girl,
and I would like to return it to a member of her family. I will pay the
costs of course.
I would be obliged if there is someone out there who can help.
