PETITIONS FOR CHANGE OF NAME
MARSHALL COUNTY, INDIANA


From: Marshall County Roots and Branches, Vol. 22, No. 1, January, 2001, Judy McCollough, Editor and Compiler

The following information is extracted for Circuit Court papers regarding legal name changes. This information came to the museum in discarded court papers that had been microfilmed. The list very likely is not complete. In most cases the court papers do not state reasons for the change of name but simply state that "there exists proper and reasonable cause for changing his/her name as prayed for".
