COUNTY RECORDS OF INDIANA MICROFILM PROJECT
In 1991 and 1992 the Family History Library of The Church Of Latter-Day Saints microfilmed the probate records of Elkhart County Indiana. The Elkhart County Genealogical Society helped with the project and for their work the society received a set of the films. They filmed the first records (1830) up to about 1920. There are 304 rolls of films on the records and 4 rolls of index.
These records consist of Probate records, Guardianships, Minor Heirs, Wills, Marriage License, Marriage Applications, Marriage Consent, Lawsuits and Late Birth Certificates issued during the war.

Elkhart County was formed in 1830. The first meeting of the Circuit Court was held at the log cabin of Chester Sage on the 30 day of November 1830. Located on the north bank of the St. Joseph river nearly opposite the mouth of the Elkhart river.
Elkhart is the largest city in the County but Goshen, the second largest, is closer to the center of county and was made the county seat.
I have found names spelled as many as six different ways in the same file. Some of the writing is very difficult to read and I know there are some mistakes. If you let me know when you find a mistake, I will try to correct it. Ned Parcell, 23034 Heaton Vista, Elkhart, Indiana 46514-9805. - E-Mail Ned66@AOL.com
I want to thank Jim Barnes, Wayne Campbell, Kurt Glinsmann and the men at Network/Lan for their help with the computer. I also want to thank my wife Beatrice (Bea) for her help with the names and for putting up with all the messes I made.
