[Vicki Butz, the Assistant Librarian, has sent me this useful note on
the Greensburg Library. I've entered the additional information on
the website. Others may wish to donate materials to the Indiana
Room. John]
The library's email address has changed to <grefdesk(a)in-span.net>
Very little has changed in the Indiana Room. Here are the few updates we
have:
Family Histories -- 929.2 Section E
Add: Boone Family
Family of Schmidt/Smith - Adam & Florentine
Wallen generations
Wilhoit - 1685 - 1992
This is all that has been turned in to us.
Local genealogists Russell and Nancy Wilhoit <rwilhoit(a)hsonline.net> are
working on a death index for Dec. Co. We will eventually have a copy of
that, but I am sure it will be a long project.
