The census takers’ writings were very hard to decipher, they spelled creatively, and the records are faded, blotched, and hard to read. In addition, this transcription has not been proofread and there are “irregularities” – so be creative in your searching! If you find someone of interest, note the township abbreviation (see list below) and the sheet number, and then click here to choose the appropriate township and sheet link to get to the transcriptions. They are stored at the USGenWeb Archives.
