Theresa, I'd suggest you contact the Fayette Co. Genealogical Society. They have transcribed and indexed the censuses from 1860, 1870 and 1880 (at least -- those are the ones I know about) and the books are in the library in Vandalia. Or perhaps the library would do a look-up for you. The address for FCGS is Box 177, Vandalia, IL 62471 Good luck! Mona On Sat, 12 Feb 2000 12:28:28 EST JanieBAC@aol.com writes: > Thank you Melinda.
