Hello all, Has anyone examined the 1865 state census for Pope County? I'm wondering if the microfilm is fairly complete and whether it is readable. I looked at an index to the census that was available at the Golconda court house and I found an ancestor listed. When I requested a copy of the record from Illinois State Archives, they replied that the name couldn't be found. Could it be that the index was prepared from a better copy than what is available today? Is the index publication still in print? Thanks for any info, Stan Mitchell
