The Porter County GenWeb site has a new web address and layout. The new address is located
at:
http://ingenweb.org/inporter/
Several databases have been added to the site, including:
* 400 Porter County biographies (many more being added soon)
* 6,700 Porter County obituaries and death notices (fully transcribed and cited)
The site has a fully functional search engine. When searching for a name, be sure to
search in both forward and reverse name formats. For example, when searching for
"Robert Smith" also trying searching for "Smith, Robert" (don't
forget the comma). Additionally, try a search using alternate spellings.
Other content that will be added over the next several months include maps (mostly plat
maps of each township) and newspaper transcriptions.
Any suggestions for additions and changes are welcome, as are contributions of additional
data.
