We are glad to announce that the 1870 Census Images are now on line. These have been placed there by S/K Publications and a group of volunteers listed on the page. This same group of volunteers has indexed a full name census with age and image number for your convenience. It also includes soundex provided by Rick Elliot so that you can find your ancestors names who may be incorrectly spelled. We have already found errors in some of the names. Would you help us out by looking at the names that you know and letting us know where we have errors? We want to stay as closely as we can to what it actually says on the census (which is sometimes wrong) but many times if you know what it SHOULD say, it is much easier to read. We can not continually ask the Archives Volunteers to make changes but we will ask them to do it ONCE. Please send your corrections to Rick Elliott before January 25, 2000 - our deadline for corrections. We will be most happy to do the best we can. We want this index and the ones for 1900, 1910 and 1920 to be as accurate as we can but we need your help to do that! Thanks to all of you who have written thanking us for this service - this is how you can help. Let's all work together to make Madison County Research Available and Accurate!
