Indiana Source Book: Genealogical Material From “the Hoosier Genealogist” 1982-1984, Volume 5 with Index

ihs029In recent blogs I have review the Indians Source Book, covering four volumes and an independent index to the first three volumes. These four volumes represent the work of Willard Heiss. He took upon himself the task of copying and printing into a single series of books all the abstracts of vital and genealogically important records which had previously been published in The Hoosier Genealogist, a quarterly of the Indiana Historical Society. He described the contents in the first volume as thus:

“The Hoosier Genealogist first appeared in 1962. Its editorial policy was an still is ‘to publish transcripts of original county records (such as marriage, land, will, and probate records), also church, Bible, and cemetery records.”

The abstracts come from many different sources, predominately covering the records from the 1800s. Heiss completed four volumes of work, covering nearly 20 years of the Hoosier Genealogists. Fortunately, especially for those with an historical or genealogical interest in Indiana, Rebah M. Fraustein took up where Heiss left off, and has given us Indiana Source Book: Genealogical Material From “the Hoosier Genealogist” 1982-1984, Volume 5 with Index. Fraustein had this to say about the book [taken from the Introduction]:

“Innovations appear, such as ship passenger lists of persons who indicated their destinations as Indiana, naturalization records, graphics, such as ship lanes from Ireland and England, and brands for cattle…Extracts from early local newspapers are continued, giving one an historical perspective of the times and the mode of life. Many articles were too long to [be] published in one issue; they were continued in later issues.

THG editorial policy has always been to print as much material as possible. Of the ninety two Indiana counties, some sort of material concerning over one third of them appeared in these twelve issues.”
