The book in which the marriage records for 1816 to 1826 printed below were entered was lost so long ago that no one in the Orange County Court House at Paoli, Indiana, knew of its existence until it was brought to light last March in the furnace room of the building. A pile of papers brought down from the attic about three years ago included the records.

Research Notes - Harold Erkman

While going through the General Stuff Notebook #2 awhile back I came across an AWON newsletter.  That's American World War II Orphan's Network.  I was a member for awhile b/c mom is a World War II orphan.  The newsletter suggested requesting an IDPF [individual deceased personnel file] because many World War II service records were destroyed in a fire at the St. Louis archives in the 1970s. Which is what happened to Harold Erkman's service record. So I wrote to the National Archives and got a letter back that the file existed and for photocopy fee they would send it to me and they did and it arrived today!  [Nov. 13th]  And being a government file, it is in reverse chronological order.
