Free Queries in Vigo County!
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."

I would like to extend a special thank you to Nancy Sherrill, librarian at Vigo County Public Library. She has been a wealth of information and a great inspiration to me. Ms. Sherrill gave me my first leads and launched me into this fabulous world of genealogy. Thanks Nancy!!
I thank each and every one of you who have taken the time to send me your records so I could put them online. My gratitude to Ken Reed, Janice Thomas and Nancy Culver for their generous contributions to these pages. We shall all benefit from their kindness. Thank you!
