The below link will take you the the Mecklenburg Co, VA 1870 Boydton Dist. Part 1. This is one of 8 or 9 Dist. for the 1870 Mecklenburg Co., VA Census. Iam more then half way through with the entire 1870 Meck Co., VA census. I will post again when each dist. is complete. It takes longer to check out what has been transcribed then to transcribe, but these steps insure correctness. This census has not been published. It is the first census that ALL persons were counted. Those who are tracing their Black roots will find it useful. Some portions would be imposible to transcribe with a microfilm reader. These have been scanned in using a film scanner then transcirbed using PhotoShop view and Excel to enter the data This makes those portions which are dim come alive. I hope someone can find this information useful. Any one needing a copy of a page in JPG format contact me at rodey@kerrlake.com Anyone seeing any errors please notify me at the above email address.
