New Flanner And Buchanan Families Book

Bruce Buchanan recently donated this great book to our library.

A 2021 publication of the Indiana Historical Society, it's the story

 of an Indianapolis family going back six generations. 

Drop by our facility some Wednesday and take a look at some major Indy history.

 

Next Genealogy Angel

President Barbara Cline-Hutchinson presented

her Genealogy Angels certificate to Marlena Linne on Wednesday.

Marlena is our southeast Marion County specialist, and her work resulted 

in Warren, Franklin, and Perry Townships moving to the top of the resources list. 

Thanks, Marlena! 

 

New Genealogy Angels--Hooray!

At our Holiday Meeting last Saturday 

GSMC President Barbara Cline-Hutchinson (right) awarded 

Genealogy Angels certificates to (L-R) Janet Mobley, Jenny Greene, and Doug Scott 

for their strong support of Marion County genealogy. 

All three contributed many hours of their time to developing new resources. 

GSMC is fortunate to have such outstanding volunteers!

 Several other volunteers were awarded Genealogy Angels status; 

we will feature them here as soon as we can run 'em down.

2024 Cemetery Module Upgrade Project

Introducing our GSMC 2024 Project!
We plan to revisit all 120-plus online burial locations in Marion County                and enhance them somehow.

We will add burials, improve existing entries, or add notes and directions.
[Our Cemetery Module has been on the back burner for several years, 
as we worked on other material.]

If you want to participate or if you have some graves material, 
please contact us or visit us at the library any Wednesday. 
Thanks!!

 

Data Volunteer Becky Goldstein

Long time GSMC member Becky Goldstein is our newest data entry volunteer. 

We want to thank Becky for her recent contribution of Broad Ripple funeral notations.

 

Bruce Buchanan Visits GSMC

We had a VIP visit on Wednesday, as Bruce Buchanan of Flanner and Buchanan stopped in. 

We talked over a lot of topics, including our library and some historic records accessions.

Our partnership with F&B has been very successful for genealogists, 

as we just extended our lease on Tuesday for five more years with options.  

Keep those records donations coming, folks; help keep our resources growing

 

Last Chance For City Directories!

We are phasing out the printed copies of the Indianapolis City Directories in our library. 

These books are available digitally on numerous websites, 

such as the IUPUI Library and the State Library. 

They are also available on microfilm in our library, among others. 

Starting Wednesday Dec. 13, we start recycling them. 

If you want any for your collection, let us know and pick them up, otherwise sayonara.
