I saw you r email regarding a James Cemetery. I am a James descendant of this area.
Do you have more information?
I have a marriage certificate for a Martha Laughlin marrying James Carrel Morgan Co Ind
17 February 1840. Could this be the Laughlin family you mentioned?

This is for informational purposes only and is not to criticize anyone. I
have corresponded with Sharon Mills/Morgan Co. in the past and she was
delightful and very helpful. I guess I would just like to say (to whoever
was in charge of this venture) that I'm so sorry I couldn't personally help
in the voting and that I hope you get your funding for the James Cemetery
project.

P.S. It doesn't make a bit of difference, but my gggrandfather was born,
raised and married in Morgan Co. in 1830 and immigrated to Barry/McDonald
Co's in Missouri. He was a Laughlin.

Fellow genealogists and anyone concerned with preserving our sacred
cemeteries,
The History Channel and Time Warner are sponsoring a 'Save Our History'
grant
award for which anyone can go online and cast their vote. Voting ends THIS
FRIDAY April 27th, so time is short.
We were fortunate that our restoration project was chosen as a finalist.
The JCOGS is the only genealogy society or cemetery project to be chosen
as one of the five finalists, so I truly hope that you will go to the Time
Warner website and cast your vote for the James Cemetery project. If
awarded this grant, we will use 100% of the grant to begin installing an
antique-style aluminum alloy fence around the perimeter in order to help
halt further desecration of this sacred and historic burial ground.
You can read more about our James Cemetery project at the Time Warner
'Save Our
History' voting website. Please unite with us as a group of genealogists
concerned about the ever-increasing destruction of our cemeteries by
VOTING for
us at the website below. And note also that ANYONE with Internet access
can VOTE
so please forward this email to your genealogy circle of friends and ask
THEM to
vote too!

It was not my intention to insult anyone regarding my comment " I did not
find much information on my family" at the Morgan Co Library. But, let me
say when traveling from out of state time is very limited. I would spend
my time more wisely next trip. That would include isolating my research
to one facility as Fort Wayne library.
If my family had lived in Morgan Co after 1850 I may have been more
succesful in my search. Since my research was before 1850's I didn't
find what I was looking for.
Yes, I was on my own the times I visited the library . It took a lot of
time trying to figure out
what was available. If I had known David Ross could have assisted me I
would have asked him for help. As it was the desk told me they didn't
know anything about the genealogy section nor when anyone would be in that
did know about this section.
Again I apologize if my assistance offended the library. I was
attempting to assist a researcher that was not a resident of Morgan
County.

I hate to hear someone came to Morgan County and didn't find much. I
think the Morgan County Public Library has a very good genealogy
department. Researchers may feel lost because we only have a part-time
employee in tha department. However, it doesn't take too long to figure
out what can be found where.
We are fortunate to have a head librarian, David Ross, who is a
genealogist himself. During his tenure the department has been improved
and expanded. If you have an MCPL library card, you can get HeritageQuest
from home. This tool is supported in part by the Morgan County History and
Genealogy Association.
Almost all of Morgan County public records were filmed by the LDS, so
Morgan County research can begin anywhere you find an LDS FHC. Most Morgan
county officials are very helpful; where they are less welcoming, many
county records were placed on microfilm. These are available either at the
MCPL or in the microfilm office in the basement of the Court House.
In recent years MCHGA has worked with the MCPL to re-organize and
re-shelve the reference books to make research easier. One row of
bookcases contains strictly Morgan County resources. New Indiana and
general references have been added to the collection. One file drawer of
microfilm contains family histories and information brought in when the
LDS was filming. That drawer is a treasure trove.
The Mooresville library is also available for persons looking for
ancestors who lived in mostly northern Morgan County. I see research in
Morgan County as favorable, when one's ancestors have left some public
records to find. Of course we all have those elusive ancestors who slipped
into a county and left without leaving much evidence of their having been
there.

Hi Betty,
I understand what you are saying and regret you didn't get help with the
genealogy section. Our library needs more funding for staff, but there
have been cutbacks instead of increases. I do want to clarify, though,
that we have lots of research materials available, even for ancestors who
were in Morgan County before 1850.
If anyone has suggestions to help researchers work independently, please
send them along. We can discuss it at our MCHGA board meetings. Maybe a
printed guide of some kind would help.
Best of luck at Fort Wayne, where you can find lost ancestors.
Sharon
