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 the person responsible for Tippecanoe County, Indiana. If you would like to contribute your information to this page, 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 guestbookso I'll know you were here! Tippecanoe County INGenWeb is in no

"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."

me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect
