They have a lot of information about their resources at http://www.statelib.lib.in.us/www/isl/whoweare/genealogy.html I think it would pay to check out what they have before you get there, so you can make the best use of your time. They have microfilms of many old newspapers. I have borrowed several films of Logansport papers via interlibrary loan. It is not real fast, but it does work basically for the cost of postage. The folks at the Pulaski county Library in Winamac has a good genealogy section and has helped me a lot by mail. Including images of newspaper stories and copies of a card file of births, marrriages, and deaths by surname. They are very nice and helpful Also the Pulaski county InGen web site is very useful. http://www.rootsweb.com/%7Einpulask/ With lots of time till September, you should be able to find gold in Indy Our connections to Winamac are via the HOFFMAN family. The ones who had the hardware and grocery business in Winamac. Any Connection?
