Hi! In regard to hard to read census--it is said that the census takers didn't always use quality ink, consquently it faded. mr Brian Hulleberg wrote: > > Jeannie. > > I have tried to look at the 1870 Ogle co census. It is very hard to read. So I wrote to the National Census Archives, and the copy they had was just as bad. I normally orger my copies from them. They charge a little bit but it works, Most of my information comes from films, but if I see my direct line in a census record I will ask them for a copy also. It is on big paper and hard to file though. > > Bryn > > >>> <ILOGLE-L@rootsweb.com> 5/14/98 4:09:36 PM >>> > Hello all, > > I am trying to find someone on the 1870 Ogle Co census.
