Hey, there is another one. The Indiana Source Book: Materials from The Hoosier Genealogists, 1985-1988; Volume Six with Index. Can you blame the dedication of some genealogists who are willing to do this much work for others.
As you may recall form my other blogs on the previous five volumes, this work started in The Hoosier Genealogists [THG], a publication of the Indiana Historical Society. “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.”
William Heiss began the work of compiling all the recorded information found in THG into a single work, starting with the beginning of the 1962 edition. The records themselves predominately cover the 1800s throughout the state of Indiana. Heiss compiled four books in all, plus a stand alone index to the first three book. From volume IV on there has been an index within each volume. In volume V, Rebah M. Fraustein took up where Heiss left off. Volume VI was taken on and compiled by Ruth Dorrel, who was also the editor of THG at the time of printing this volume in 1992; however, this edition covers the period in which the volume IV compiler Rebah M. Fraustein held the editorial helm of THG.
