Cities and counties are often hard to read on some of the marriage records. If a place name is misspelled on the document and neither indexer A or indexer B is familiar with place names in Indiana, both may simply copy the misspelling. When that happens, since they both spelled it the same -- but wrong -- it will not be highlighted for an arbitrator to take a another look at it.
One of our arbitrators offered this address -- http://www.hometownlocator.com/State/Indiana.cfm -- as a place to find the proper spelling of cities and towns in Indiana.
And here's a link to a site which details the townships in Indiana -- http://www.stats.indiana.edu/maptools/townships.htm -- for you to try.
