I made a few phone calls this morning and found the following information. The 1840 census was published however I do not have any availability details on it yet but will inform the list when I get it. The 1850 census book is available can be purchased from: Selby Publishing 3405 West Zartman Road Kokoma, IN, 46902-2979 email: selbypub@netusa1.net Cost is $30 plus $4.50 shipping. This cost will go up a few dollars sometime in the next few months so order now to get in at this price. They accept check, money order and credit cards. Have a great day, Barbara Freeman Pike Co ILGenWeb County Coordinator
