Online Archives
Through our projects and donations from members, NWIGS
maintains a number of databases and publications that are helpful in
genealogical and family history research for individuals who resided at one
time or another in
either Lake County or Porter County, Indiana. Listed below are links to data that
are maintained internally on our Society's website. The
Research Resources webpage on our website will
direct you sources of genealogical and family history information related to
Lake County and Porter County that is maintained both on our website and other websites.
Publications containing a wealth of information, and which can be purchased
from the Society, can be found on the Our Publications
webpage of this website. We're always looking for individuals to contribute
additional genealogical and family history information to our Society or to
volunteer for a project!
