Book Description
All data abstracted from baptism, marriage and death church registers of St.John the Baptist Catholic Church in town of Dover, Kelso Twp, Dearborn County, Indiana for the 1840s. Also includes 1848 Confirmation class , a list of religious who served the parish, an undated partial cemetery layout, and combined family data from St. Paul Church in New Alsace where overlapped. These church registers were filmed in 1988. I accessed them through a local Family History Library over a period of several years. My book data covers the years 1840-1849. Taken from source data that is cursive and in Latin. Films are difficult to read. By transcribing this data, the information is in a much more accessible state for researchers. Data abstracted includes names of parents, their children and dates of birth and baptism with the names of sponsors, officiant and any other notations on the record. Data from marriage records includes bride, groom, witnesses, marriage date, officiant and any miscellaneous data noted on record. Burial records have death and burial dates, if given, age, may state parents, spouse, cause of death. All the baptism, marriage, and burial data was combined to make family groups. Index included. Each entry is sourced back to the film page. Book ends with bibliography and author biography.

Book Description
For Irish Americans as well as for Chicago's other ethnic groups, the local parish once formed the nucleus of daily life. Focusing on the parish of St. Sabina's in the southwest Chicago neighborhood of Auburn-Gresham, Eileen McMahon takes a penetrating look at the response of Catholic ethnics to life in twentieth-century America. She reveals the role the parish church played in achieving a cohesive and vital ethnic neighborhood and shows how ethno-religious distinctions gave way to racial differences as a central point of identity and conflict. For most of this century the parish served as an important mechanism for helping Irish Catholics cope with a dominant Protestant-American culture. Anti-Catholicism in the society at large contributed to dependency on parishes and to a desire for separateness from the American mainstream. As much as Catholics may have wanted to insulate themselves in their parish communities, however, Chicago demographics and the fluid nature of the larger society made this ultimately impossible. Despite efforts at integration attempted by St. Sabina's liberal clergy, white parishioners viewed black migration into their neighborhood as a threat to their way of life and resisted it even as they relocated to the suburbs. The transition from white to black neighborhoods and parishes is a major theme of twentieth-century urban history. The experience of St. Sabina's, which changed from a predominantly Irish parish to a vibrant African-American Catholic community, provides insights into this social trend and suggests how the interplay between faith and ethnicity contributes to a resistance to change.

Book Description
A supplemental textbook for middle and high school students, Hoosiers and the American Story provides intimate views of individuals and places in Indiana set within themes from American history. During the frontier days when Americans battled with and exiled native peoples from the East, Indiana was on the leading edge of America’s westward expansion. As waves of immigrants swept across the Appalachians and eastern waterways, Indiana became established as both a crossroads and as a vital part of Middle America. Indiana’s stories illuminate the history of American agriculture, wars, industrialization, ethnic conflicts, technological improvements, political battles, transportation networks, economic shifts, social welfare initiatives, and more. In so doing, they elucidate large national issues so that students can relate personally to the ideas and events that comprise American history. At the same time, the stories shed light on what it means to be a Hoosier, today and in the past.
