Greetings and HELP! I am searching for the application for naturalization of my GGF who
lived in Floyd Co. IN. The name is Jeremiah Torpey, The records are supposed to reside at
the Floyd Co. courthouse, but I've been told by one person in that office that they
were sent to the IN State Archives, and by another that they have been sent to the
Mormans. Both of these people were downright rude and offered no assistance what-so-ever!
Frankly, I think they just don't want to be bothered by those of us seeking our roots.
If anyone has any info on where these records might be, or how to deal with this
bereaucratic bunch, I will be most appreciative. By the way, the application was filed in
1855. Thanks. Jon Topy <sanjont(a)earthlink.net> PS. I will get emails at either
address, but prefer the earthlink one.
