GSMC Certifies A New (Old) Cemetery

The Genealogical Society of Marion County recently submitted a set of documents 

to the Dept. of Natural Resources that proved the existence 

of the Norris Cemetery in Marion County. 

The cemetery has been added to the SHAARD database under the cemetery number CR-49-152. 

Just another service of GSMC!

Where Is John W. Link?

We ran across this diploma in some Tech High School materials. 

Now we're curious. 

Does anyone know what happened to John Link after

 he earned a certificate in Architectural Drafting at Tech HS?

C'mon now, let us in on it...

 

Indiana Landmarks Events

The state headquarters of Indiana Landmarks is here in Indy, 

and they sponsor an ongoing historical buildings and events series.

Any of these strike your fancy? If so, give them a jingle.

 

2025 Is Commencement Year!

School Commencement Programs contain a wealth of information 

about local students, faculties, and communities. 

We need yours!

If you have any kind of Marion County school Commencement program, please get it to us.

Attach it to an email, bring it in so we can scan it, mail a photocopy.

We don't need originals; copies will do fine.

Researchers will be most appreciative; thanks.

Reminder: Yearbook deadlines can be as much as 6-7 months before graduation day. 

Commencement programs are much more accurate about actual graduates.

 

Latest Angel Duane Perry

Skilled genealogist Duane Perry has been researching African American burials all year

 in the "still located in Greenlawn Cemetery." 

We finally chased him down to recognize his great work. 

 

We Organize Marion County For You

When we discover a photo/document/resource, 

or some generous soul gives/sends us some of the same,

it's generally in some random or single order. 

Our job is to put it where it needs to go, so that family historians can find it.

Take the school files below, for instance. 

We dare to to find any of these files either online or in a physical location.

We have 200+ Marion County schools with data and/or physical files,

all of them nicely organized for research.

Go get 'em!!
