Nadine, I have the 1870 census here at the house as we write. It is an extremely (underline extremely) poor quality film - but I'll check what I can read for you. If that film is the best that is available for Taylor, then the information is lost. I will write to AGLL and let them know the film needs to be replaced. Have others experienced poor quality films as well? Angie act5788@ix.netcom.com wrote: > > I need someone to check the m/f for 1870 US Census for Taylor Co., GA: > > ADAMS, Anthony age c. 90 b.
