How is the census sent out? Areas are divided into sections and each section is sent the census form at a different time. In Bluffton there are several different sections and not all sections have received the form.

It you haven't received it, don't panic. It should be coming. Please complete and send back as soon as possible.

Letter: Could you add a genealogy section to The Icon?

Posted by Fred Steiner on March 29, 2010 - 1:12pm

Bluffton Icon:
First, I want to congratulate you on a great website! I was excited when I found it as I was looking for information on an old school in Allen County - Diller School.

I don't think you know me. I lived in Pandora for 11 years on the family homestead. We bought the farm on which my mother was born from my Uncle Clifton Neuenschwander. It's located on Road R between Road 3 and Road 4.
