In June, 1996, a group of genealogists organized the Indiana
Comprehensive Genealogy Database. The idea was to provide a single
entry point for all counties in Indiana, where collected databases
would be stored. In addition the databases would be indexed and
cross-linked, so that even an individual were found in more, they could
be located in the index. At the same time, volunteers were found who
were willing to coordinate the collection of databases and generally
oversee the contents of the web page.
My name is Randy Klemme. This
is my
second go-round as Franklin County Coordinator. I was coordinator from
August 97 to March 99 and again from November 8th, 1999 to today.
Please feel free to send me your comments or suggestions that you
may have regarding this web site. If you have an interest in adopting a
county, please contact the state coordinator Debby Beheler.
This picture was sent in by Michelle
Lane of Richmond, Indiana. It's a picture of Franklin County
Civil War Veterans. Little is known about when and where the picture was taken or who many of the
veterans are. The only two known are Andrew J. Alley, fourth from the
left and his brother John is holding the flag. Are any others known or any other
details?
