Thanks to the extremely hard work of Marge Priser another important
database has been added to the Kosciusko County USGenWeb Project
site. Marge has indexed the 19 volumes of Guardianship Reports,
covering the years from 1871 to 1964. Here's an excerpt of what can
find in these reports:
"Guardianship Reports were required to be filed by the guardian with
the judge of the circuit court on a regular basis. Some guardianships
were maintained for CHILDREN of a deceased parent and some
guardianships were maintained for PERSONS AGED AND INFIRM. The
guardian provided the court with a variety of information, many times
accounting for sums of money that he or she was responsible for. In
the case of children, often the whereabouts and the age of the child
is given. In the case of the elderly, the report often gives the
whereabouts of the person, and in the final report often gives the
death date. This index provides the researcher with the Individual
Names, Volume Number (1-19) and Page Numbers."
