Vigo County Biographies Project

There are now 682 biographies online!

In April of 1999, I became the Vigo County Coordinator for the Indiana Biographies Project. We need your help putting biographies of Vigo County citizens online! If you can help, or if you would just like to visit the project, click here. As part of this project, I'm putting histories of ALL Vigo County towns online.

Tamie Dehler of the Terre Haute Tribune-Star writes:
"If you are searching for an ancestor or a family member in Vigo County, Ind., or any surrounding county in Indiana or Illinois that touches Vigo, you may send a free query to be printed in my genealogy column in the Sunday newspaper. E-Mail your queries to Tamie Dehler. Please allow several weeks for publication. If you want to receive a copy of your published query, you must enclose a SASE and mail query to: GENEALOGY, Terre Haute Tribune-Star, P.O. Box 149, Terre Haute, IN 47808. At minimum, you must include names, relationships, locations and dates. If you don't include your mailing address in the query, you are greatly reducing the chance of a reply as many people don't have e-mail."
