The Indiana genealogy portal to end all Indiana genealogy portals

Many thanks to the Indiana Genealogical Society blog for mentioning the remarkable collection of resources at Hoosier Heritage: Indiana History and Genealogy Online. This site goes far beyond the average and the obvious and includes such links as 19th Century Indiana Physicians, H-Indiana: H-Net Discussion Network for Indiana History, a clickable county-by-county map of Indiana Public Libraries, Genealogical, and Historical Societies, Civil War Indiana, and (inevitably) Cruise-IN.com: Celebrating Indiana Automotive History. If you can't find anything here for your Indiana research, you're in the wrong state.
