Yesterday, I dropped in at the Indiana Historical Society to see the library on the second floor of their building. After signing in and locking my belongings in a locker, I asked at the desk for some pointers on researching my Bavarian ancestor, George Buchter. He lived in Indianapolis from the 1860s until 1879. I am still working on determining his year of immigration to the United States, but I thought I'd try to learn a little more about his life in Indiana and Indianapolis.
