Fellow genealogists,
For the past few years, volunteers affiliated with FamilySearch in
partnership with the Indiana Genealogical Society have indexed and scanned
Indiana marriage records from 1811-1959. Within the past few weeks, the
work that has been completed to date has been made available online at
https://familysearch.org/search/collection/show#uri=http://hr-search-api:808
0/searchapi/search/collection/1410397.
According to the FamilySearch website, the collection is about 82 %
complete. Due to contract issues, however, some images cannot be viewed
online, but they have been microfilmed and can be accessed at various
family history centers.
In the south central district of Indiana, records for the following
counties
have been indexed and are readily available: Bartholomew, Brown, Clark,
Floyd, Harrison, Jackson, Lawrence and Orange. Additionally, the records
from Crawford, Scott and Washington counties have been microfilmed but have
not yet been indexed.
Although a number of marriages performed in Monroe County but registered
elsewhere are included in the index, it does not appear that those
registered in Monroe County have been indexed or scanned. (It was
previously my impression that marriages were registered in the place where
they were performed, but a review of the records indicates that assumption
was in error. I learn something new every day.) That may be true for some
of the other counties mentioned as well.
Additionally, remember that the index is only as good as the indexer and
subject to human error. For the best results, it is suggested that one may
want to search by the name of the city rather than the name of the county.
And a search for place of residence and place of marriage will often return
very different results, so search accordingly.
As additional records are indexed, they will be uploaded to the website.
If
you would like to assist with this indexing project, contact the project
coordinator, Shirley Richison Fields, at indexing(a)indgensoc.org.

Index to Cases Referred to the Supreme Court Now Available Online
An index to cases sent on appeal from local courts to the Supreme Court is
now available online thanks to the efforts of the Indiana Archives.
The index can be accessed at
http://incite.in.gov/DataEntryApp/Public.aspx
and can be searched by name, county, plaintiff and defendant. As of
January
2013, cases from 1817 through 1881 have been indexed and the project is
ongoing.
Often counties have little information about cases referred to the Supreme
Court and typically those cases that are dismissed are even more obscure
because no opinion was issued. However, documents related to every case
noted in the index, regardless of whether or not the case was dismissed,
have been preserved at the Indiana Archives. Consequently, the index is
one
of considerable value to genealogists who have reason to believe the
subject
of their research ever encountered legal difficulties.
To access the documents in a case file, click on the name as it appears in
the index to reveal a box and record number. With that information, files
can be located at the Indiana Archives in Indianapolis. To review file, it
is recommended that the Archives be given at least 24 hours advance
notice.
NOTE: Opinions from those cases heard by the Supreme Court can be found in
volumes titled Report of Cases Argued in the Supreme Court of Judicature of
the State of Indiana, and many of the opinions may be found online with a
Google search. It is approximated, however, that more than one-third of
the
cases sent to the Supreme Court are dismissed for one reason or another
and,
therefore, no opinion was issued.
