Hi!
I'm looking to make contact with living Harden/Hardin family members in the
Lafayette, Indiana area. My father's family is from there, and he knows
that he still has relatives living "down there somewhere" but he's not sure
where. If anyone on this list might be a relation, please contact me.
Also, feel free to pass my message and e-mail address on to anyone you know
who might be a relative.
My dad's family spelled their last name "Harden" when they moved to
Wisconsin, but he knows that a number of the family members kept spelling it
"Hardin", particularly those who lived in Indiana. Here's the relations
list, in case any of these names ring a bell with anyone:
My dad: Donald Elmer Harden
His siblings: Kenny/Dinger (Alva Kenneth), David, Jim (James), Robert, Judy
(Judith), Shirley
My grandparents: Alva Kenneth and Elizabeth (Rohler) Harden
Alva Kenneth's siblings: Paul and Marie (possibly others - still need info
here). Paul was married to "Olive", and my dad only remembers them as
"Paul
and Olive" and thinks he may have had cousins by them.
Elizabeth's siblings (Rohler): Helen, Joseph, Nemebh, Violet, Alice, Earl,
John, Mary, Ralph and Donald. Nemebh died in childhood.
Elizabeth's family was also from Tippecanoe County.
The genealogy that I have completed so far is here:

Anyone who can make a connection would be greatly appreciated! :D
Thanks!
