Can anyone tell me if there is a book with cemetery listings of Vigo County? I'm looking
for the Highland Lawn Cemetery and those buried in it. Thanks

1930 MAP REQUEST
Submitted by Dr. Joel Weintraub 11 May 2002
I'm asking for help in locating a map of Terre Haute from as close to 1930 as possible.
I'll use that map as a baseline map for drawing the census boundaries of the 1930 U.S.
Census for that city. Once I have the boundaries drawn, either I or a volunteer will
transcribe the internal streets of each census district, add it to a text file that
already has the boundary streets on it, and make it available to the "One Step"
site that is being used by thousands of genealogists to search locations on the 1930 U.S.
Census. If you are not aware of the project or our website, please see: http://home.pacbell.net/spmorse/census/.
We have up on the website over 100 U.S. cities, with a goal of having all cities over
45,000 in population (in 1930) with a location index (either on our site which should have
about 180 to 200 cities at least before we slow down, or on NARA film M1931 ...or both).
I've been collecting maps, but don't have a suitable one for your city. That's where I can
use your help in providing either a high resolution scan of such a map or a copy. I would
appreciate any courtesy you would extend on this matter.
JOSEPH KOCH BOOK
Submitted by Jenni Cruse 22 Jun 2005
I saw a book in the Vigo Co Library on Fontanet, Nevins Twp, Indiana, recently
written by Joseph Koch and would like to obtain two copies, if they're available.
Could anyone please tell me how to contact Joseph Koch or how to purchase the
books?
