Genealogy Society Collecting Names of U.S. Military Personnel
U.S. MilitaryThe Allen County Genealogical Society of Indiana (ACGSI) is collecting names of personnel who served in the U.S. military service from Jan. 1, 1900, to the present. Any person who was born in or lived in Indiana who served in any branch of military service qualifies for inclusion. The society is recording the veterans information in a secure database; the information will be on file for genealogy research. There is no cost for adding a name, and the honor roll will not be distributed to other organizations. For information, contact John Hannigan, naginnahj@yahoo.com.

  • For offices, schools, and departments, a general rule governing capitalization is that official names are capitalized (Office of the Bursar); unofficial, informal, shortened, or generic names are not (bursar's office, the bursar).
  • In general, avoid unnecessary capitalization; it reduces the readability of the publication.
