Owen County, Indiana

An INGenWeb Home Page

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 Julian Livingston and I am the person responsible for the Owen County Page. We have provided a direct link to the Genealogy Librarian of the Owen County Public Library on the lookup pages. See our lookup pages for some real capabilities. If you would like to contribute your information to our effort, please volunteer for our surname page. If you would like to host an Indiana county, please contact Debby Beheler.

You are the 96770 person to visit this page since this counter was started on 12/11/96.
