Homesteaders of Allen County

The Allen County Genealogical Society of Indiana created the Homesteaders of Allen County, Indiana in 2001 for people who are descendants of Allen County residents who settled in the county between January 1, 1851 and December 31, 1875. Applications and documented proof have been microfilmed and are available at the Allen County Public Library. This is an index to the Homesteader ancestors.

If you have an ancestor who was in Allen County prior to December 31, 1875 and wish to apply for "Homesteaders of Allen County", please visit the ACGSI web site for information.

If you have an ancestor who was in Allen County prior to December 31, 1850 and wish to apply for "First Families of Allen County, Indiana " please visit the Allen County Genealogical Society of Indiana website for information. We have a page of proven First Families. Proof of descent is required for both Homesteaders and First Families.
