Recently the 1870 Federal census was indexed and put online by Genealogy.com Unfortunately I cannot find the family that I know with reasonable certainty is in Kankakee County. Is there a paper copy of this census at a local library or historical society? Shown below is a genealogy report on this family that may help someone who happens to see this family in the 1870 Kankakee County census. In 1870 the first 3 children would be alive. Octavie Sanche was raised in Kankakee County and is found with her family in St. Anne in early census records. The name Gelino has many variations. Descendants of Aurel Sanche Generation No. 1 1.
