I don't know if the Local History site has been posted before. It gives a
lot of info on the county, each township, history, newspapers, indexes,
addresses of local historical collections and such. Don't let the ID here
of some of the links fool you into thinking they may not have info there you
want, there is more than meets the eye so hunt around. I don't know how
updated the page is, but still tons of resources, such as below on Vincennes
Churches (copied here is the Roman Catholic section).
First is the site we all know and love:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~inknox/knox.htm - great resource site and for Knox
links (if you receive the INKNOX-L I guess you already have to know this
site, but it doesn't hurt to post it again).
http://home.att.net/~Local_History/Knox-Co-IN.htm - many links here.
