Allen County Indiana Lookups
Allen County Reference Books and Lookup Volunteers
Indexes and many of these books have been and are being added to our sister sites The Genealogy Center of the Allen County Public Library and Friends of Allen County web sites, so don't overlook these online resources before contacting Lookup Volunteers. Our ACGSI Site Search will search our Allen INGenWeb site and the ACGSI.org site together which may speed your results.
If our online resources don't satisfy your needs, we have listed many of the Allen County published books that are available. ACGSI has some of these books available for sale such as cemetery records, surname lists, church histories, and Civil War records. If you find any not listed here please let us know. If you own any Allen County books, whether listed or not, and will do lookups, please let us know, since volunteers are always needed.
Feel free to request a look-up from the following books. Please limit your request to one name per request. Please put ALLEN COUNTY LOOKUP in the subject line of your request to insure the message is not overlooked or accidentally deleted. In the first line of the message, please put the name of the book you are requesting for the lookup. Also, please be sure to include at least one date for the lookup to help identify the person.
If you request a lookup, don't forget to thank your volunteer for their time.
