I am going to take a stab in the dark here, I tend to avoid forums and posting, but the quality of people here is very impressive.
I am in north central Indiana, very close the MI line. I have had some small luck in Goshen (my hometown) around the area west of Waterford mills, and to the south near the old location of aupenuebee.
what I am struggling with is the utter lack of any records or moderately easy researchable places for records on old indian settlements, trails, etc. I keep running across other people's similar frustrations and statements of how the settlers "purged/erased" any sign of previous occupants. Northern Indiana is a terrible place for history, there seems to be a strong tradition of ignoring anything that happened before 1825.
1) does anyone have a good website or book to search these things?
2) does anyone on here live in Michiana and know a good deal of pre-settlement history?
