I am a new member of the Indiana Genealogical Society (IGS). I joined IGS at the Federation of Genealogical Societies 2011 Conference, in Springfield, Illinois and have spent the last month exploring the online databases available to members. (I have Graf and Mast ancestors from Indiana. They were primarily in Howard and Miami counties in Indiana.)
Many of you have probably heard of the society's recent success with raising funds for the War of 1812 digitization project. Currently, they are working on a probate preservation project for Hendricks County, Indiana. Other projects IGS is involved in are listed on their website.
IGS has a Facebook and blog presence. Both are very well done. I encourage you to take a look at the Indiana Genealogical Society. Check out their website, blog and Facebook page to see all the wonderful work they are doing with preserving Indiana genealogical records.
My blog features articles on a wide range of historical topics and includes personal stories, historical documents, and photographs. My blog includes resources for family history enthusiasts, such as examples of historical resources and articles about researching family history. I aim to provide a unique and personal perspective on my ancestor’s past, and to help my readers understand the experiences and struggles of the ancestors who came before us.
Thanks for joining and the Follow Friday. It was nice to meet you at FGS.
