PROJECT STATUS - 4 FEBRUARY 2012:
ABOUT THE PROJECT:The Indiana Genealogical Society is coordinating volunteers and funds to preserve and digitize 32 boxes of Hendricks County probate records that are in the basement of the Hendricks County courthouse in Danville, Indiana. These court records date from 1824 (when the county was founded) up to the early 1900's and have never been microfilmed, indexed or otherwise been accessible to the public. Probate records include estate and guardianship cases, as well as some criminal and civil court cases, and as such contain some fascinating details about the lives of early settlers. Work is being done in phases:
When the project is complete, copies of the digital files will be given to various local organizations, including the Hendricks County Clerk's office and Hendricks County libraries. SAMPLE RECORDS:
