About Our Library
The Clay County
Genealogical Society's Library is located in Center Point,
IN. We are open Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday from
1:00 to 4:00 PM. Other times can be arranged in advance. We can do
research for you. We have a vast amount of
resources available at the Library.

New Roof Addition
The Genealogy Library now has a new roof
extending from the back of the building, which gives protection
to the heating and cooling system as well as the gas meter. It
will also help protect the handicapped ramp and back door from
further weathering.
Last winter when the furnace quit and the water in the bathroom
began to freeze, we found that water from the roof had fallen
and frozen on the gas meter. As a result the gas could not reach
the furnace, and we were faced with a costly repair bill. The
total cost of the new roofing addition was $1,238. We are
accepting donations to help pay for the roof.
Family Maps of Clay County, Indiana
Family Maps of Clay County, Indiana, is now
available for purchase through the Clay County Genealogical
Society for $25. It is fun and easy to use. The Surname/Township
Index allows you to determine which Township Map Group(s)
contain individuals by surname. Each Map Group has a
corresponding full-name index of all individuals who obtained
patents for land within its Congressional township’s borders.
After each index you will find the Patent Map to which it
refers, and just thereafter, you can view the township’s Road
Map and Historical Map, with the latter map displaying streams,
railroads, and more. There is a map showing all of the Indiana
counties, one with cities and towns of Clay County, and several
other interesting maps. Have you ever heard of the following
Clay County towns: Mechanicsburg, Roadman Corner, Wickville, or
Hirt Corner? You will find them in this book of maps. Cemeteries
are marked on the Road Map pages for each township. If you have
early Clay County ancestors, you will love this book.
