"In
all of us there is a hunger,
marrow-deep, to know our heritage - to
know who we are and where we have come
from. Without this enriching
knowledge there is a hollow
yearning. No matter what our
attainments in life there is still a
vacuum. An emptiness, and the
most disquieting loneliness."

WELCOME
TO THE WARREN COUNTY INGENWEB PROJECT
Warren County INGenWeb is a part of
the USGenWeb Project and is an
all-volunteer effort.
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.
At the same time,
volunteers were found who were willing to
coordinate the collection of databases and
generally oversee the contents of the web
page.
My
name is Adina
Watkins Dyer and I am responsible
for Warren County. This site was
previously cared
for by Anthony Gick. I would like to
thank Anthony for all his years of
dedication and work for the researchers
of Warren County, and wish him all the
best for the future.
If you would like
to contribute information to this site,
please let me know.

NEW PROJECT
I have just started working on the 1862 Civil War Militia Enrollments
and the
Roll of Volunteers for
each township. They have been copied from
microfilm
of the original Indiana Adjutant General's Records,
from the Indiana State Archive.
I don't have all the townships copied yet, I hope to
get up to Fort Wayne library
to copy the rest sometime in the fall.
1862 Militia
Enrollment - Medina Township
