If you live in Indiana a great place to do research is the Indiana State Library. They have an amazing amount of genealogical research material. There are newspaper microfilm reels from newspapers all around the state. I was able to do an incredible amount of research there this summer.
They also have a huge collection of books and other information to do research.
I also found that the Morrison Reaves Library in Richmond has a great online index. It lists the articles printed in the Richmond Palladium Item and some earlier newspapers. I was able to find several Connersville articles in the index also. I printed out all the indexes I was looking for and took the printout to the Indiana State Library. Morrison Reaves printouts tells which date, page, and column the article is in.
My son and I were able to take those printouts to the Indiana State Library and we were able to find over 20 obituaries and stories in 2 hours. I was a great use of our time. This information pointed me in the right direction to discover other important ancestry finds.
