Subject: Re: Knox county research
Fresh start.
I was born in Vincennes, still have a lot of Maternal family ( EDGIN )
there. When I got my computer one of the first things I did was hunt up
Vincennes Newspaper:

It was through newspaper link that I found info on libraries that I was able
to go to when I went home for Family reunion last month. Brian Spangle of
Knox County historical Library is a researcher's DREAM come true. Very
helpful & knowledgeable! I think he put together most of the research
indexes. He put together an index of people who had no recorded births that
went to court to legalize their births, I stumbled on to my Father's name in
it ( JEFFRIES ). What a surprise, was going to get his birth record at
health Dept (never crossed my mind that he would not have one) he was born
in the hospital. If anyone hasn't been able to find a record of birth they
should ask Brian about his index for unrecorded births.
