The earlier records for birth/baptism, marriage and death/burial are found in
the St. Francois Xavier Catholic church records. The microfilms of these
records are available through the LDS Family History Library and other sources. I
have and use extensively La population des forts francais d'Amerique by Marthe
Faribault-Beauregard. Volume Two covers the church in Vincennes.
What names are you researching? I have several reference materials for the
Indiana/Illinois area, specific to Vincennes and covering the pre-Revolutionary
period. My Page/Pagé line was in Poste Vincennes in the 1760s and some of my
maternal lines were there decades before. Let me know who you are researching
and I might be able to help.
