I'm trying to locate my birth mother. I have identified my father (deceased), and found a few pieces of information about him and his family in the Hammond Times on-line archives, but they only include a few issues of the paper. The complete archive is in the Hammond Library. I think there might be a marriage announcement in 1942-1944, but am located in the West coast. Is there anyone in the area who can help? So far the nearest person I've found is over 50 mi. away. - Thank you very much for any information.

Thanks for the thought, but yes I did contact the Hammond Public Library. They started a search, but only found what I had found on-line. It turned out that they were using the same online newspaper service I was using. Library staff and time are limited and they said a manual search through all of the on-site newspapers would take too much time.
I'm trying to save-up for the trip from California to Indiana, and the time it would take to search (probably almost a week), as a last resort.
