I went to Dubois County today and want to thank all of those who helped
me.
The records library is not only full of records; but has the most
knowledgeable clerk I have even seen. She not only found the records for
me; but told me about people and families in Dubois Co. If anyone knows
her, let her know how much I appreciated all her help. I did not get to
return after lunch to tell her.
The library has a genealogy room with a large table, many stacks of books
and files, a microfilm and fiche reader/printer, computer, and lots of
films. They also have a series of indexes of a book by Wilson that
amazed me. What a find. I spent my afternoon looking at films on my
Brady/Warthens.
(Bradys, Warthens and Gilpatricks come from Birdseye, Siberia and
Adyeville.)
I stopped by Birdseye on my way home and purchased a "Birdseye
Centennial" Book at a local grocery. It seems that the town of Birdseye
sits on top of a hill and the view is spectacular. The Book is full of
pictures and information on Birdseye. I then went down the road and
found Siberia. It was a small community in a valley that seemed to
center around a church.
I had a wonderful day.
