In 2001, I received a letter from the son of Charles H. Browning of Evansville, Indiana. He described his father’s Obituary Notice Index of more than 200,000 cards taken from the Evansville Press<\/em> and Evansville Courier and Press,<\/em> 1906-1990.\u00a0 These cards were scanned into a computer database.\u00a0 Then the obit notices from 1991-2000 were added by entering them directly into the Browning Genealogy Database.<\/em><\/p>\n

Next,\u00a0the database was loaded onto the Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library website http:\/\/browning.evpl.org.<\/a><\/p>\n

Charles H. Browning spent more than 50 years other indexing other,\u00a0important entries from the newspapers and adding details from other sources (I suspect including mortuary details from the Browning Funeral Home).\u00a0 He did 40,000 cards on World War II veterans and his People of Evansville Study yielded 537,000 cards.\u00a0 These two databases are part of the Evansville Library, Local History Database<\/em>.<\/p>\n

All of these cards are available to you online!<\/strong><\/p>\n

These truly remarkable genealogy resources can be accessed online.\u00a0 By clicking the red HOME button.\u00a0 You can choose standard search, advanced search, or keyword search on the search menu.\u00a0 And an individual print screen appears.\u00a0\u00a0 No library code or access card is needed.<\/p>\n

The Local History Index also includes scanned images from the news clippings files which the library maintained for many years–still an on-going project.\u00a0 The Browning Family members and the staff of the Browning Funeral Home keep Charles H. Browning’s projects current.<\/p>\n

Searching this file for marriages alone could open your pedigree–Evansville is a River town where people from surrounding counties in Indiana and in Kentucky ran away to be married.\u00a0 What a find–a long, lost, gretna green wedding!\u00a0 And if you make a find, the Library staff can supply a copy of the newspaper entry for you.<\/p>\n

Surely the Grinch cannot steal your Christmas thanks to Charles H. Browning and his Browning Family and staff.\u00a0 Your favorite genealogy guru, Arlene Eakle http:\/\/www.arleneeakle.com<\/p>\n
