THE DeKALB COUNTY, INDIANA GENWEB PROJECT

"FOREIGN" WILLS - DEED BOOK RECORDS

This page was compiled, transcribed and submitted by Eliza Funk - ebethgen1@yahoo.com


Following are some of the Wills located in the Recorder’s Office. Many of them are "Foreign" Wills, meaning Wills from outside of DeKalb County, and are recorded in DeKalb due to the fact that there were heirs in this county. Other Wills were recorded because Real Estate was being given to heirs and the Will was recorded with the deed.

We have sought to provide some basic information so you can determine if the deceased may have been one of your ancestors. In most cases, not all the heirs are listed in the Miscellaneous Information column. As we research in the Recorder’s Office and Clerk’s Office we may add to this list in the future.

To receive copies of these Wills, please send a Business size SASE to DeKalb County Recorder, DeKalb County Courthouse, PO Box 810, Auburn, Indiana 46706. The charge for copies is $1.00 per sheet.

To visit in person, the DeKalb County Courthouse is at 100 S. Main Street, Auburn, Indiana. The Recorder's Office is on the first floor.
