The Hoosier Genealogist: Connections

IHS began publishing the award-winning journal The Hoosier Genealogist for members in 1961. It contained indexes and other data that served as keys into rare source material such as diaries, ledgers and public records. In 2000, the journal began to include narrative articles telling how to conduct research and offering rich examples of family and local history written by genealogical experts. In 2007, the name changed to THG: Connections, and today, THG: Connections is a biannual magazine of in-depth articles with an internet companion, Online Connections, which contains indexes and data.
