What’s New at ACGSI.org for September 2022

New Allen County, Indiana records added to our www.acgsi.org website. Many items are Public, while some are Members Only.  Your financial Donations, Volunteer time, articles for Lines, Certificate research, and Membership fees make it possible to maintain and add more items online to our ACGSI website.

AACGSI volunteers indexed the names in the 1950 census for Allen County now on our 1950 Census Index page. The official population count for Allen County was 183,722, but we indexed a few additional names which were not included in the official count.CGSI volunteers are now indexing the 1950 census of Allen County.
