Our September meeting is the occasion of the awarding of La Porte County(IN) residency certificates.
The certificates are in four classifications:
First Families - for proven ancestors before December 31, 1840
Pioneer Families - Residents between 1841 and 1860
Settler Families - Residents between 1860 and 1880
Civil War Families - For ancestors who served from 1861 to April 1865, with residence requirements.
The annual meeting is always interesting. Each of these figures from the past have a personal meaning to the recipients, and they will share with the members and guests.
