Search the Northwest Indiana Genealogy Society website . . . .
SEARCH HINTS - When searching for
a specific name or location, place quotation marks around the full name or
location if it is more than a single word. To illustrate, typing
"Robert Smith" into the search field
(with the quotation marks)
will return only those webpages containing the name Robert Smith. Failure to put quotation
marks
around the specific name or location, such as typing Robert
Smith (without the quotation marks), will return any webpage that contains Robert and/or
Smith, which could be many, many webpages.
In addition, many pages on this
website list the individual's surname first, followed by the individual's given name. For instance,
if you were
searching for "Charles Anderson" on the NWIGS website, it is
strongly urged that you also conduct a search on
"Anderson, Charles" (again,
using the quotation marks) to be certain you have searched surname-first
records.
REMINDER -
Try using variant spellings and
soundex
spellings when searching surnames, especially for surnames that can be
easily misspelled.
