Welcome to my site. Although the focus of this site is Johnson County, Indiana, that is by no means the only location represented here. I focus on Johnson County because that’s where I live and have the best access to information. If you are a relative of mine and looking for our family history, click here for links to my family pages.

I am currently working on a few genealogy projects related to Johnson County, Indiana including transcriptions of various index, biographical and other genealogy related material which will be posted to this site. I have also started transcribing various resources currently located in the Franklin College Archives, which contains numerous books about most of the 92 Indiana counties.

Johnson County, Indiana Cemeteries

Due to the large number of errors found on Find A Grave I am no longer linking to that site. I will be creating my own databases to be hosted here to help control the accuracy of the information. Most listings will at first be text only but photos will be added when there is time to take and add them. If anyone would like to volunteer to photograph an entire cemetery and allow me to use the photos here please contact me at brad@bradmanz.com
