IT DOES NOT HAVE SURNAMES OR ST OR CO NAMES.
I found the following on another list and thought this might be a bit of
GENEALOGY TRIVIA that would be of interest to some. Me I have printed out
several and put one in several of my genealogy notebooks that are used
frequently, that way I don't have to run to one all the time if a postage

The following deals with being able to read old papers in our court horses of
today that were written a century or so ago. We don't want to make mistakes
in following the written word of a time gone by. Beej in AZ
An exerpt from the first paragraph of the site.
>>>When reading old deeds, wills, court papers, letters, or any other
original document it is imperative one be familiar with the handwriting
styles of the period. If not, mistakes can be made through
misinterpretation and mistranslation.
I will announce this is off topic HOWEVER relivent to genealogy research.
Any list owner that does not desire this to go thru return it to me please.
Otherwise I will expect to see it posted.
I was going thru some old mail and found this. Thought you all would find it
interesting. Beej in AZ

I have a lot of roots in Hancock County, Indiana. The surnames are:
Pope, Duncan, Cunningham, Andis, Linder, Smith, Watts, Tyner, Dillman, Eastes, Meek, & Wright . I would be pleased to hear from anyone interested in these surnames, to compare & share. Thanks, Sue Long long@techcom.net
I got a map of Hancock county showing Township boundaries
from the Hancock County Auditor's Office or the Assessor's
Office (can't remember which) in Greenfield. It cost $1.00,
but I picked it up in person. There would probably be a
postage fee. You can them to find out the details at (317)
462-1105 for Auditor or (317) 462-1102 for Assessor.
