New Allen County, Indiana records added to our www.acgsi.org website. Many items are Public, while some are Members Only. Volunteers, membership fees, and your donations of family research, time, and money make it possible to keep adding more items online.

October 12, 2020, was the 15th anniversary of acgsi.org. Our deed index continues to grow steadily. The index cites nearly 46,000 deeds (two parties each) in the period 1873-1889. We are now indexing in the 1890s.
