Introduction
Welcome to Boone County Genealogy! I am the County Coordinator
for the Boone County Trails to the Past. The Indiana State Coordinator
for Trails to the Past is Jana
Cortez, I hope you find a wealth of information on these pages
to aid you with your research efforts in Boone County. I don't
live in Boone County, so unfortunately I'm unable to assist you
any further with your personal research, other than the data and
helpful resources I know you'll find among these pages. There
are links to various genealogical organizations, libraries and
message boards that may be able to provide additional help with
research and look-up services. I try to post all new data as soon
as possible after obtaining it, so bookmark us and check back
often!
Contribute
Boone County Genealogy, Trails to the Past wouldn't be possible without
the generous contributions of materials and data from volunteers,
researchers and the hard work and efforts of the County Coordinators
who set the framework and keep it growing. Please help us to continue
to grow by submitting something from your research or materials
that could benefit others. I'm hoping you've found something here
useful for your research, and the best way to repay in kind is
to contribute something that can benefit others. You'll find a
link to the page for submitting data
to the site, or making comments and suggestions, which are also
very much appreciated!
Where to Start
- FAQ's - Please begin by
reading the FAQ's for some helpful information and answers to
some of the common questions our Boone County researchers have.
This page is updated frequently, so take a look each time you
visit.
- Genealogy Tips - This is a new
section I'm starting that I hope will help you whether you are
a beginner to genealogy research, or a seasoned veteran. We'd
love for you to submit any good tips and tricks you've learned
and can pass on for all of us! You'll also find comment boxes
on many of the pages with more genealogy tips I hope you'll
find useful.
- Index / Site Map - The most
comprehensive list of all the pages on the site. Find the new
data here, or something you've missed in the past. Remember,
many of the older pages and sections "grow" and have
new data added to them continuously, so don't overlook them.
- Surname Registry
- Look for mutual researchers who are researching the same Boone
County surnames as you. You can also find mutual researchers
on the Genealogy Homepages.
If you haven't done so already, request to add your name to
the list or new surnames you are interested in. Feel free to
also ask to have your personal genealogy website link included.
If you have already registered your surnames or linked your
website, check to see that your contact email address and the
URL of the website are current.
- Search the Site - Always use
the search engine to search for names or topics you are interested
in finding. While the search engine does a very good job of
finding what you are looking for, remember that it might not
display hits for a name spelled with a different variation,
or misspelled in the original data. Read the tips on the search
page for the best results.
- Post a Query
- Use the message boards to post your queries and request look-ups.
Be sure and read the tips for posting do's and don'ts for the
best results.
