Hi Kay,
I just received a huge packet from Vevay County. Here's
what I did:
According to the Handy Book for Genealogists, the
County Health Department has birth, death, and burial
records, and the county clerk has marriage, divorce, court
and probate records from 1814.
I wrote to the Switzerland County Health Department,
in care of Ms. Betty Lucas. The address is:
803 East Main Street
PO Box 14
Vevay, IN 47043
The telephone number is (812) 427-3220. When I
called, Ms. Lucas asked that I send a check for $5.00
to cover the cost of copies and time researching. I did
so, along with a list of the names I needed. Within two
weeks, I had a whole computer printout of every person
found with that last name in Swit. Co., along with copies
of the marrieage license I'd requested.
Ms. Lucas was very prompt and helpful. I wish you luck!
Best Regards,
Beth Tennant Brigham

Am trying to get copies of birth certificates or birth records of my
gg-grandparents. Apparently, the County Clerk's office in Vevay has records
available from 1882 on.
Am looking for info on John James WINTIZER, B. 7/6/1866 and Laura THOMAS, b.
11/22/1868, both born in Switzerland Co.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
