Hal McCawley:
Saw your subject post on the INVIGO-L(a)rootsweb.com
One of the best places to start looking for ancestors in Vigo County IN is
the Special Collections Department of the Vigo County Public Library
(VCPL) in Terre Haute IN.
I would suggest you send an email detailing (names, dates, locations) your
query to:
specialcollections(a)vigo.lib.in.us
The above is the email address for the Special Collections Department at
VCPL.
The Special Collections Department has one of the best genealogical
collections for western Indiana and eastern Illinois available. They have
several full time librarians available to answer your query.
The URL listed below is a direct link into the Local History and Archives
Section of the Vigo County Public Library. The is a "Log In" Section, BUT
IT IS ONLY NEEDED IF YOU USE THE "HeritageQuest" LINK. Everything else is
open to non library members.
http://www.vigo.lib.in.us/subjects/genealogy
Look at the "Basic Sources for Genealogical Research".....this is a great
listing of books, microfilm, and other sources for individual counties in
the Wabash Valley of Indiana and Illinois. There are many other sources
to look at on the Special Collections site.
There are additional FREE databases for Marriages and Obituaries available
on the Vigo County Public Library Special Collections website.
*************************************
Another place to check for information would be the Wabash Valley
Genealogy Society, Inc. website at:
http://www.inwvgs.org/ There are some Early Vigo County Marriages
posted in Databases on this site.
This website has a members surname listing that may lead you to
individuals that are researching your surnames. There are several
Databases to search and many other helpful search links on this website.
Good Hunting,
