We all want to see
something new and helpful on the Boone County
Genealogy website every time we visit, so
please help us keep that goal by
volunteering a
service, transcribing data, look-ups, gravestone
photos and/or cemetery readings, or just
contributing something
from your current Boone County research to add to
our databases. If you can help, please
let me know.

What's New
It would be impossible to list every single item and entry
that is added to the website on a daily basis, but I will
attempt to keep this page updated to reflect the major
addition of new sections, materials and databases. Some
sections, such as obituaries and newspaper items, are
updated with additions frequently. Other databases such as
marriages, deaths, births, etc., are ongoing, and additions
are made as the transcriptions are completed or
contributions received. The easiest way to determine if new
items may have been posted of particular interest to you, is
to utilize the search engine
to find surnames pertinent to your research.

October 2008
I'll be posting many odds and ends of data I have for
Boone County this month, some of which will be

find some contributions in my email of data and materials
from our researchers also!

September 2007
Great news this month has been getting the photo
gallery back online and researchers responding by submitting
many old photographs ... thank you to everyone that has
contributed your old family photographs! I've also been
adding many photograph/portraits from the 1887 edition of,
"Early life and times in Boone County, Indiana," which will
correspond with many biographies recently posted.
August 2007
Summer is always a busy time of the year ...
vacations, travel and kids out of school. But hopefully this
time of the year has also given you more opportunity to work
on your family tree. Maybe a trip to do some courthouse
research or prowl a cemetery or two with camera in tow
searching for the gravesites of a few elusive ancestors. I
hope if you are able to add to your research this summer or
have a little extra time, you'll consider
sharing some of your data
with Boone County INGenWeb also!
July 2007
The good news ... Many biographies and items of
historical interest from the book, "Early life and times
in Boone County, Indiana" continue to be transcribed and
ready to post on the website. The bad news ... Unfortunately
the month has started off with difficulty or the inability
to get them online due to problems with RootsWeb's servers
going down or out of whack all week. Hopefully their
problems will get fixed soon! :-) - Update! -
Problems fixed as of July 7th! Yea!
June 2007
I'd like to extend a BIG thank you to Julie
Townsend who has graciously volunteered to transcribe
data for Boone County Genealogy. She is currently completing
all the biographies from the 1887 edition of, "Early
life
and times in Boone County, Indiana," - so keep checking back often!
Thanks Julie!

Last month I added the ability to post many more
copies of *original* vital records, such as
marriage
and death
certificates,
obituaries and
gravestone photographs to the website that have been
contributed! I thank our generous Boone County contributors
that have generously shared these records with us! If you
can add more records to our data, please read the
guidelines for
submission information.
March 2007
March should be a good month for new additions! New
Boone County cemetery transcriptions from Libbe Hoogeveen
will be added all month as soon as I can get them
reformatted and posted online! Looking forward to what our
other researchers can provide also!
February 2007
Once again, a big thank you to our Boone County

Boone County researchers have been actively submitting new
records and data to the website ... many thanks to all of
you for the support and participation! Listed below are some
of the areas you'll find new data, and I'll continue to add

July - September 2006
July through September have been busy and productive months,
since I recently adopted the Boone County Genealogy,
INGenWeb, created a new website and have made some
substantial additions of materials, resources and data. I
hope you like the new look and design and find some helpful
new resources. Of course all of the original information and
data is still here, but it may have a new look. Many new
entries have been added to the website with the new design,
too many to list each and every one, but listed here are a
few of the major NEW additions or updated data:
