*****IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT SEARCHING THIS SITE :) ***** This site indexed by Free Find NOTE: Free Find is still reindexing this site a little at a time -- if you use the site and it comes up with something - IT WILL NOT GO TO THE SITE as the site has been moved. HERE IS AN EXAMPLE though and it is VERY easy to find what you want yet -- say you are looking for Waveland and you type in Waveland in this search box -- this might come up -- www.ingenweb.org/inmontgomery/twsp/lo-brown.htm ****PLEASE READ -- Okay, all you have to do is replace the beginning (before the slash) with indianagenweb.org -- in other words, change-- ingenweb.org to indianagenweb.com, then hit the return and your Waveland or whatever you are searching that the search box has found for you should come up -- this is ONLY TEMPORARY -- within the next few months you will not have to do this -- sorry for the inconvenience but FreeFind has been wonderful and I'm not changing from them :) Eventually, this will not be necessary and thanks so much for your patience -- kbz Montgomery County, Indiana is rich with history and owns many interesting sites, including the Old Jail Museum (with one of the only workable rotating cells); the Lane Place (home of Henry S. Lane, Senator and personal friend to President Lincoln); Lew Wallace Study (author of the book, Ben Hur); DAR house (owned by the Elston family until the Dorothy Q Chapter, DAR purchased it); and Wabash College (an all-male Liberal Arts School with less than 1,000 students dating back to 1832).

What's Thanks to Wilson's free gifs Just a FUN little diddy that came in this week - from Jerry Turner and here's his explanation : 5 bill my dad received from the old Bank cigar store many years ago. Regretfully he sold it but here is a picture of it. The interesting thing about the bill is that is has Crawfordsville Indiana on the bill itself issued from the Citizens National Bank. 1929 was the year it was issued and it has the signatures of the cashier and president of the bank

***** I want to take this space to THANK MY WONDERFUL TYPISTS ***** Barbara ***** ** PLEASE let me know if I left anyone out because these guys & gals are SUPER and I want to make sure they get a BIG THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!! *** ====== F E A T U R E D -- T Y P I S T From -- Debby M. -- I'm 64, will be 65 in November. I was a fine arts major at the University of South Carolina but never finished. I draw and paint, and enjoy photography. I graduated from a technical college majoring in industrial drafting. I was employed by Lockheed Missiles and Space in Charleston, SC as a draftsman and transferred to Sunnyvale to become a technical writer. I wrote maintenance manuals for the Trident Missile system. Then moved to Florida and worked for Martin Marietta as a tech writer on the Pershing Missile program and later the TADS program (it's the navigation pod on the nose of the Apache helicopter). My husband and I have been married for 27 years. My husband has a grown son and daughter and five grandchildren, who I absolutely adore. Unfortunately they live in different parts of the country and we don't get to see them nearly as often as we'd like.We have an Arabian mare named Amie, two Schipperke pups, Willow and Nicky, a cat named Charley and a Senegal parrot we call Scooby Do. We live on 15 acres on a small lake and are visited daily by deer, wild turkeys and sandhill cranes. They're all well fed because we and the neighbors all put feed out for them. I enjoy reading, and I especially love mysteries and thrillers. Some of my favorite authors are Janet Evanovich, Jonathan Kellerman, Dean Koontz, Stephen King, Lee Child, James Lee Burke, Kathy Reichs, Harlan Coben, and on and on, too many to list. I also enjoy flying and of course genealogy. My parents and grandparents all died between 1981 and 1984, and I guess I started my family search a couple years later. I've been unable to learn much about my Masterson heritage, but my mother's mother's family name is Spangler, and there's a lot of information about them readily available. One of the Spangler men married a woman from Rensselaer County, NY, which is why I became the GenWeb coordinator for the county at its inception. I was a volunteer at the Tucson LDS library for a couple years and took advantage of access to their books, microfilm and microfiche to transcribe the information I displayed there. Labor of love. When I'm able, I volunteer to help Karen in any way needed - also a labor of love. --- from KZ -- thanks muches to Debby M and ALL MY AWESOME HELPERS !!
