Allen County, Indiana Church Burial Records |
About This Resource:
Civil vital record registration was not required in Indiana until 1882,
with numerous counties and communities not collecting the data consistently until sometime even
later. Church burials records often are a worthwhile substitute for civil vital record registration.
Margery Graham, library volunteer and Allen County Genealogical Society officer, has abstracted a number
of Allen County, Indiana church burial registers from their earliest records through the 1880 time
period as a type of death record substitute and to provide access to this valuable information.

- Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Fort Wayne, 1834, 1837-1849, 1853-1855, 1874-1885
