InGenWeb
The InGenWeb Project

In June, 1996, a group of genealogists organized the Indiana Comprehensive Genealogy Database. The idea was to provide a single entry point for all counties in Indiana, where collected databases would be stored. In addition, the databases would be indexed and cross-linked, so that even if an individual were found in more than one county, they could be located in the index.

Want to know the beginings of InGenWeb - who started it and who were the first...here is the story.



Hi I am your new county Coordinator - Judi Burns - I have been the assistant up till now - working in the background with Katy to get material for the site; Katy has consented to be my assistant - coordinator; she had been sick the last last year - and is doing better.

I have had a major computer break down since taking over - - my XP went dead just as I was finishing up the Obituary file the end of August. It was just within minutes of having the Obituaries that were on site all transfered over to the new format and ready to upload. I am back after finding 2 units this a Windows 95 and a 98SE yet to be set up. I have answered all e-mails in between done some research - the Weaver, Sparks & Carmichael families information is a result of an e-mail seeking info. I have also transcribed some records which is slowly appearing. There will be a "Last updated ... [28.11.2008] " which is outside of the main table of the page - this is intentional on my part as a part of crossing referencing my files - on this and when I get the files off of the XP. - a means to warn me to check the content before discarding.

The 98SE is set up and I have been working behind the scenes on stuff. Some new material has went up - and working on other stuff. The Obituaries are still available of the old site - those will be the last to got up -; will start working soone of the cemetery folder - the last remaining item to move and redo - then it will be re-check time of the old folder to make sure everything was transfered over.

Katy was in the process of redesigning the site and there are numerous duplicate folders and items moved around - So I am not dumping anything as yet - just sifting thorough it slowly folder by folder - file by file; using her menu bar to the left - So please be patient and if you can not find something or or a link comes up "NOT FOUND" please kindly e-mail me and let me know. Also I am changing or adding to the menu bar by "global Replacement" which does the full folders all at once - if missing on any individual page please let me know -

I am trying to put the site back into working order as quick as possible. There are still items at the old site; nothing has been taken off or unlinked unless it was that way before I started this all - I WILL NOT remove anything from the old site until it is linked here. And as a safe guard I have put the entire site into another folder 0nto this site - as was - A recent comment:
Went to Greene Co. web page this morn. & see that its been changed & now I can't find the queries page. If its not broke, don't fix it. Leave it alone. It was fine the way it was. Sorry, don't mean to get on my soapbox, but I don't like changes. I get use to something, I want it to stay that way if at all possible.
the only change I have made major is the new look or layout of page with simple fonts - the menu and layout of the menu is as I found on the site. I am not planning to change the menu - maybe only to add to it as I go along such as under the "history".

The search engine has remained on the old site and leaving the search engine as is for now - but I am told is not fully operational since rootsweb has moved all the site over to the "Ancestry.com" side - this took effect this first week in April.

Have you submitted information the past year and it is not up on site? Please let me know - so I know what I am looking for in her folders. If I find new stuff not up I will add it as I go as yet I have no idea what is fully lurking behind the scenes in the folders PLEASE be patient as I un-ravel each of them.

There are a couple of ways to do submissions. You may want to send your information as an attachment to my e-mail address at:

I don't live in the area, but don't let that stop you from asking questions. I have my resources for finding information and am more than happy to try and help.

However, I CANNOT go to the courthouse or the locaL newspaper and dig out information.


I between Rochester of Kewanna of Fulton, Indiana; Winamac, Pulaski, Indiana and Culver, Marshall, Indiana. I am genealogy enthusiast that collects everything that I can find about Greene County and its people.  My family has been in the Greene county area since the before 1840's

Besides being the new county coordinator for Greene and Sullivan counties as of 22 April 2008;I have been county coordinator for Carroll county February 2005 and also has several special project pages. Back in 1982 I updated the section on John Emery of Newbury, Massachusetts of which which the Greene county Indiana Emery's descend from and some of the Monroe and Lawrence counties Emery's also.


Submissions: There are a couple of ways to do submissions. You may want to send your information as an attachment to my e-mail address at:

Or, you may want to send a cd to me (especially useful if you have a lot). Just e-mail me and then I will give you an address in which to mail it too.

Maps: So that you can find your way around Greene County now and in the past, I have included maps.
GREENE COUNTY CALENDAR - Here you can add your reunions, church events, genealogy meetings, birthdays, etc.   Objectionable material will be removed.

Guest book: you can view at or you can sign it at. Please forgive me for going "generic - but his way I do not have alot of coding behind the scenes and can find things faster and easier for now. I have not been there so not sure if it works - this will be one of the last items tackeled - it does work - been there checked it last entry was in 2007 - there is 15 pages- only looked at the first - for now.

As priority to me is getting the site back up in workimg order and material on that is here - and letting those who submitted know what is missing by viewing the site. When all completed - everything I find in folders will be up and I will try and add new as I go. Again PLEASE be patient.
