Posey County Genealogist
County genealogists are invaluable resources for anyone seeking to delve into the past. They can answer general questions about the county, providing insights into its history, culture, and communities. Need to know where specific records are held or where to find them? County genealogists are experts at pointing you in the right direction. They’ll also inform you about what records exist and, just as importantly, which records do not exist, saving you valuable research time.
County genealogists can recommend search avenues and tools tailored to your specific needs, ensuring you’re on the right track to uncovering your family’s history. Please note that while they are fantastic information resources, they are not typically able to conduct genealogy research for you. Instead, they empower you with the knowledge and tools you need to embark on your own genealogical journey.
