Trying to organize a research trip. Researching many Vigo Co. surnames. Can anyone advise
where I can find:
1) Grantor/Grantee Indexes, and land transactions from 1818 through 1900
2) Probate (wills, guardianships) from 1818 through1900
Are these at a State Archive, the Vigo Library, or do I have to go to the Courthouse?

Everyone, thank you for all your help! I really appreciate it. I've
researched in several states, but not done that much in IN, yet.
I'm thrilled that the Vigo Library is close to one-stop shopping. Indeed,
I've already found that they are especially helpful by mail. I was hoping
they would have deeds and probate, but I wasn't sure, too often I research
in a state capital building, far from where my ancestors lived!
I should probably have said, "confirming" instead of researching my
families...I am from "way down" on the Pound-Kester line...I'm Moses
