I was in Washington a couple of months ago -- has anyone seen the "new" library?
They've completely remodeled and it's *lovely*. The genealogy department is
perhaps 1/3 to 1/2 of the first floor and they've found a delightful librarian (who
knows her stuff) to staff it - very helpful. And, glory to be, you can now print out
microfilm <G> -- I wanted an obit many, many years ago and you couldn't do that
then.
To my knowledge, the genealogy society died many years ago.
I just wish I had Natalie's ability to organize! You never asked her for
anything that she couldn't go right to it!

Hi Michele, that is correct. Without Natalie's records, Daviess
Co would
have practically nothing for us to access. The courthouse is a valuable
source, but it's not enough. We are especially grateful to Natalie for her
work
(and Herman Joe McAtee and various other old timers) on the compilation of the
various church records in both counties. Of course, there are both a
genealogy society and a historical society, but I don't read much about them,
only
Martin Co (in the Loogootee Tribune).
Incidentally, I have tried to get the Tribune to add their weekly obituaries
to the online Obituary Central or give them to me to put on the lists, but I
have never had the courtesy of a reply to any of my communications with
either Harold Greene or his successor, Mr. Hembree.

I wonder how many people realize that all Daviess Co. records are under
Baker at the LDS - you go into Daviess Co. and get nothing!
It's there. Two places. Indiana, Daviess, Genealogy along with other
collections from local historical societies and it is also cataloged under
her
surname as an author.
