Hi, I also have family from Washington County, the Mitchells and the Kerns.
Can you explain what is "whitecapping" please? Thanks. Linda Laffey

Thanks for that info Randi. I did, at one time, subscribe to GenealogyBank
and also using Newspaper Archives along with
Ancestry.com. I gave up my
subscription on Newspaper Archives as of this coming May as when I have
tried searching for something it is not there anymore. I have gone back and
checked on items that I had been able to retrieve, and they are no longer
available, so just plain gave up. Will keep Ancestry for while longer at
least. Think I have been using it for at least 10 years <lol> but it is a
big help in researching. I use to go to Salt Lake City once a year for a
weeks time but with so much available online I haven't gone down there in
several years. My youngest daughter & I have talked of going down sometime
this year but will see how that works out. My counties in Indiana are
Washington, Bartholomew, Floyd, Clark, Jennings, Decatur mainly, but several
other counties are involved also - Thanks for writing.

Antoinette,
I'm the relatively new south central district director for the Indiana
Genealogical Society. Washington is one of the 12 counties that I
represent. During my term of office, I'm going to try to devote time
to each of those counties including sending items to the county
Rootsweb list and the IGS quarterly. For the past 11 years I've
facilitated the INMONROE list and whitecapping has been one of my
special interests. So when I started my newspaper research with
Washington, I was surprised to see quite a bit there as well. Look for
these items
periodically.
By the way, most of my newspaper research is done online at home from
the GenealogyBank website. If you haven't already visited that site,
you might check it out. It is a paid site but well worth the money.
