"Remember
the
days
of
old,
consider
the
years
of
many
generations;
ask
thy
father
and
he
will
shew
thee;
thy
elders
and
they
will
tell
thee."

Welcome
to the
Tippecanoe County INGenWeb Project
Tippecanoe
County
INGenWeb
is
a
part
of
the
USGenWeb
Project
and
is
an
all-volunteer
effort. 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 if an individual were found in more than one county, 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 Adina
Watkins Dyer and I am responsible for Tippecanoe
County, Indiana. If you would like to
contribute your information
to this site, please let me
know. If you would like to host a
county,
contact Debby Beheler, the
INGenWeb state coordinator.
Please take
time
and sign my
guestbook
so
I'll know you were here!
Tippecanoe County INGenWeb is
in no
way connected
with the
Tippecanoe County Historical
Society.

"In
all of us there is a hunger, marrow-deep, to know our heritage - to
know
who
we
are
and
where
we
have
come
from.
Without
this
enriching
knowledge
there
is
a
hollow
yearning.
No
matter
what
our
attainments
in
life
there
is
still
a
vacuum.
An
emptiness,
and
the
most
disquieting
loneliness."
Alex
Haley
