Navy Ancestors In Revolution?

 

Need A Genealogy DNA Detective?

This group had a PR table at the Indiana Genealogical Society Conference 

in Fort Wayne last weekend.

We are not recommending them; just though some folks might be interested.

 

Marion County Vet In The Family?

Discharged military members from WW1 to the present were instructed to  

record their discharge information at their local county court to make it "secure and official."

These two ledgers below are in the Marion County Recorder's Office 

on the 7th floor of the City-County Building, just lying on top of some filing cabinets.

If your guy or gal is part of that group from 1925 to 1964, 

you may want to take a look in these to see if there are details you don't have.
