November 2024 Workshop and New Databases
Video recordings and handouts for all of the sessions for our November 2024 beginner’s workshop have a permanent home in the Research section of the NWIGS website and are available to everyone. Several new databases have been added to the member's section. The first is a Wanatah Mirror Newspaper Index 1898-1916 for names beginning with the letter "A" that has been added to our Newspaper Obituaries and News Indexes page. The others are three databases that make up The Haskell Barker Railroad Car Manufacturing Company Payroll Register Index 1899-1900.
Partnership with Porter County Library System
On September 11, 2024, the NWIGS board resolved to enter a formal partnership with the Porter County Library system on future monthly meetings held in their facilities. They're excited about the free courses, educational resources, and information we provide to the community related to history and genealogy.
Refreshed NWIGS Logo
Sept. 21, 2024 - The NWIGS logo has been refreshed. While the previous version of the logo served us well, it was difficult to read at smaller sizes and we did not have high resolution versions of it for use at larger sizes. We hope that you like the new version of the logo.
