Hello David,
My Grandfather and Grandmother are Ira Everett Cotner and Adina Ester Sands from Harrison Co.., Indiana. Granddad Ira divorce Adina in 1942 and remarried and lived in Colorado (Where I live) and eventually moved to California wher they both died. I have lots of information about family and info on the Sands line which you may have by now as this is 6 years past the message on the board.

Looking for Beickman or Beickmann family members.
Father- Fred Beickman, Idalia,Colorado
Grandfather- Fred Beickmann, New Breman, Ohio
Great Grandfather- Fred Beickmann, Germany
Well, it's a new year & I'm still looking for the family of George R. Wright, my
gggrandfather. George was b. in Philadelphia in 1817. He m. Mary Jones in New
Albany in 1846. Mary was the daughter of Thompson Jones & Margaret Gilleland.
George & Mary had 9 children. Some of the names that married into the Wright
family: Stoy, Graves & Sackett. George worked in shipbuilding & later had a
grocery in New Albany. He later bought a farm in Harrison Co. & died there in 1904.
I can't connectthis family with any of the other Wrights in Floyd Co. George R.'s
father was supposedly b. in Massachusetts. Do any of these names sound familiar to
anyone? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Those of us who research in Indiana have an opportunity to increase our
access to public records and to expand on a patron-friendly atmosphere that
exists at the Indiana State Archives.
For several years Dr Alan January, State Archivist, has been Co-Director on
the Indiana Commission of Public Records (ICPR) with Connie Hume and Judge
John Newman. The ICPR is the agency which creates and/or distributes state
forms and documents. The State Archives has been part of this agency for a
number of years.
Governor-Elect Mitch Daniels will select his candidate for ICPR
Director. As a long-time volunteer at the State Archives, I feel
comfortable suggesting to you that you consider an email to Governor-Elect
Mitch Daniel's website on behalf of Alan January's candidacy.
That website is: http://www.mygovmitch.com/nominate.asp
(If the link does not work, just google "mygovmitch")
Besides including your personal information, you will need to include the
following:
Dr Alan January
5638 N Delaware St
Indianapolis IN
46220-3018
317-253-4071
ajanx2(a)excite.com
Under Dr. January's leadership the volunteer program has grown from a
handful to over 40 volunteers working to make Indiana records available to
Hoosier researchers. Several databases have been made available on-line,
and I believe several more would be on-line quickly under Dr January's
leadership. Researchers could request copies of documents the existence of
which is currently unknown to them. The State Archives has vast
collections to pique the interest of many. I sincerely believe much
progress would be made if Dr January were Director of the ICPR
In a day when access to many vital records is being legislated away, let's
take a positive step toward disclosure of public records to which we can
have access.

Don, my thanks for the information. I believe these are the respective wifes of father and son, each named Yenawine Sloan. I did not have the spouses last names.

Am not a descendant and am not researching this line, just trying to be helpful. I found two marriages which should be of interest to you. The first was for a Yanewine Sloan who married Elizabeth Wade in Floyd county on 4 Nay 1854. Had two sources, book 4 and pages 65 and 85, probably one was for the groom and the other for the bride. The second was for Yenowine Sloan who married Alice Livingston in Floyd county on 11 Dec 1889. Source is book 9, page 469. Hope this helps. Don
Happy New Year everyone!
This is my first post to this list.
I was hoping someone had a connection to any of the people listed below.
The Perkins family came from Smethwick, England.

Thank you very much. This is very useful and informative.
It describes this John Box as a steamboat captain. This is very interesting. It describes the two children as adopted.
That too tells me something (his nephews). The DO is probably "ditto" (the same as). This should hold me for now.
I don't have a connection to the Boxes in the rest of Indiana.
You have been very helpful in helping me unravel the mystery
of this family. Thank you.
