For more than the first half of the 18th Century, Vincennes was under the French. Some of the civil records are in Canada <A HREF="http://www.archives.ca/MainMenu.html">National Archives of Canada</A> and others are in Louisiana. The church records for St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church are held in Vincennes and the microfilms are available through the LDS Family History Library. <A HREF="http://www3.familysearch.org/Search/searchcatalog.asp">Family History Library Catalog</A> After the French and Indian War (aka The Seven Year War) Vincennes was under the Commonwealth of Virginia. I would suggest you contact the Lerwis Historical Library, Vincennes University for more help. <A HREF="http://www.vinu.edu/lewis.htm">Vincennes University -- Lewis Historical Collections Library</A> I have done extensive research on my ancestors who have been in the Vincennes area since the first half of the 18th Century. If you wish to contact me off-list with specific questions, I would be glad to help on a time available basis.
