There is an 1855 and an 1865 census for Randolph County. I have sent the Newberry Library a request and they have looked in the index and sent me a page and line number. You are on your own from there. There are about 5 counties on each reel and they are in verry bad shape, some names and lines you can't read at all. -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Bill Adams" <billadams06@cox.net> > Randy, > > Do you know if there are State Census for Randolph County for 1855? > > Bill > > -----Original Message----- > From: iljackso-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:iljackso-bounces@rootsweb.com] > On Behalf Of crainrs@comcast.net > Sent: Monday, January 08, 2007 12:07 PM > To: iljackso@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [ILJACKSO] Neace family in Jackson Co. > > Janis, > > I do not know if is the military census but the 1855 and 1865 Illinois State > Census are available through the Illinois State Archives.
