Hi Jan,
If you have an obituary that will give lots of information. If you don't have an obit
I would suggest checking death records for a death date. If you do have a death date you
will need to see if you can get a death certificate. That will usually tell who the
parents were. You will also want to check the birth records for Carroll County.
County records for Carroll County go back to 1828. Prior to 1828 the area was Wabash
County.

Hi Rebecca!
Perhaps you can help me. I am looking for information regarding my
great-grandfather who was born in Delphi, Indiana in 1852. His name was
Charles Fayette Corey. I have put up a posting on the genweb site to no avail
as of yet. What would be the next step. How far do county records go back?
Should I write for information?
Thankyou!
Jan Kelley
