GENEALOGY
Begins With You
by Mike Cunningham
INDIANA FAMILY
EXCHANGE
We recently contacted the
Indiana State Library for some
information on their genealogi-
cal division We were able to ask
Diane Sharp, librarian of the
division, several questions on
her department the library in
general.
The Indiana Family Exchange
is run by the genealogy depart-
ment of the state library. It is
intended as a free information
exchange, not as a advertising
service for researchers charging
fees. The library, itself, is not
responsible for the accuracy of
any information exchanged
through this service, or any
other arrangement between
users.
The purpose of the exchange
is to find other genealogists
working on the same lines and
help others working on those
lines to find each other. The
exchange file includes cards
prepared by genealogists who
are interested in exchanging
information about Indiana
families. The file is arranged by
family name. To add cards to
the file, researchers are asked to
use the following format.
On a 3x5 card, print the
family name, Indiana location
and approximate dates; your
name, address, telephone
number and date.
Requirements include - Only
families with some Indiana con-
nection should be included; use
only 3x5 cards; arrange cards
in alphabetical order according
to the family name on the top
line; these cards can not be
removed from the file; and you
may update your cards with new
information at any time.
You should send your cards to
Indiana State Library, Geneal-
ogy Division, 140 North Senate
Avenue, Indianapolis, Ind.
4b204.
INDIANA STATE LIBRARY
The Genealogy Division of the
Indiana State Library offers an
assortment of materials to aid
the genealogist in his search for
information. They are open 8:15
a m. to 8 p.m. Monday through
Friday. The service is available
through the use of the combined
collections of the division (es-
tablished as a separate division
in 1934) of the Indiana State
Library and the Eugene Haslet
Darrach Memorial Library the
genealogy collection of the
lndianapolis-Marion County
Public Library.
The primary purpose of the
genealogy division is to serve
the residents of Indiana in their
efforts to establish family con-
nections and to collect and pre-
serve records which will aid in
this work. Correspondence is
limited, but special attention is
given to those interested in In-
diana connections.
The genealogy division does
not compile genealogies. How-
ever, assistance is given to
patrons in the library and out-
side sources of information sug-
gested when applicable. The
actual examination of records
and taking notes must be done
by the patron. A list of indepen-
dent genealogists who will do
research for a fee is available
from the division.
The collection is entirely a
reference collection and there-
fore, no books circulate.
At present, the collection
numbers more than 25,000
books, including materials in
the Darrach Memorial Library;
about 10,000 pamphlets, 15,000
rolls of microfilm and microfiche
and much miscellaneous mat-
erial. Family histories, local
histories, special records of the
various states, vital records of
many kinds, wars and pension
material, publications of the
patriotic societies, material on
herald/y, genealogical and
historical periodicals and index-
es and guides are included in
the collection.
Census records in the division
include the federal 1820-1880
and 1900 censuses of Indiana.
The 1820, 1830. 1840 and 1850
records are indexed by heads of
families. And, a film copy of the
1880 and 1900 soundex indexes
are also available. Censuses
from other states include the
first federal 1790 schedules and
the other available populations
censuses for all states
1800-1880. A few 1900 sche-
dules are available in the divi-
sion on film.
The Federal mortality sche-
dules for Indiana, listing
persons who died during the
census years 1850, 1860, 1870
and 1880. with a name index,
are housed in the division. Also
on film are the mortality sche-
dules of other states that are in
the custody of the national DAR.
Family histories range from
manuscripts of only a few pages
to large and extensive volumes
and have been acquired through
donation and purchase. Special
effort is made to collect family
histories with Indiana connec-
tions. In selecting other gene-
alogies, a check is made to see if
they have been indexes in some
of the standard printed indexes.
Microfilm copies of some
early marriage, wills, probate
records and deed indexes for
many of the 92 counties have
been obtained as a joint project
of the two of the libraries.
Copies of additional court
records are also availabe in book
form.
