Shelby County, Indiana Research Website

This site is probably the best privately created website (e.g., no charge for viewing county records) that I have thus far found. There are links to courthouse records, obituaries, biographies, cemetery records, birth and death records, and much more! The website is maintained by Phyllis Fleming.

Click on the title link to visit the website. There is a site search engine, and I suggest that anyone researching the area use that to zero in on a surname.

If you have Coffey ancestors in Shelby Co., visit the photo gallery page. Then, look about half way down for the Coffey Family Album. Here you will find photos of the James Sylvester Coffey children. James was born about 1812 in Rockingham Co., NC. He marrid Sarah Carter in Shelby Co., IN in 1837.

I would be interested in hearing from anyone researching this family.
