Hello all, I'm sure that any of you who have recently checked out the web page for DeKalb County, IN are aware that we are working to get the 1850 census online. You can now find Butler and Troy Townships at that site. Our goal is to eventually have all the DeKalb Townships online there. However, Auburn, Concord, Jackson and Newville Townships are also online - but at this point they're just not as easy to find. If you're interested, you might check out the following web site addresses: For the DeKalb County Indiana Archives try http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/in/dekalb/dekalb.htm You will find Concord Township, parts 1 & 2, there, as well as Butler and Troy Townships. For the USGENWEB on-line census project for Indiana try http://www.usgenweb.org/census/states/indiana.htm This site lists all the Indiana counties for each of the census years and whether or not they have been assigned for transcription. If you are interested in helping transcribe census records, this is also where you should go to choose the county and year you wish to work on. Other states besides Indiana are also available. Scroll down to the 1850 list, DeKalb County. In the space before my name you will see a box with "USGENWEB Census Project Butler/Troy/Concord". If you click on this box it will take you to an ftp index. I don't know if all computer programs will support reading ftp (as opposed to http) files. Each item in the index indicates a separate township (Concord has 2 since it was split into 2 parts) as follows: pg0188b.txt = Butler pg0196b.txt = Troy pg0201b.txt = Newville pg0206b.txt = Auburn pg0270b.txt = Concord, Part 1 pg0282b.txt = Concord, Part 2 pg0283b.tx = Jackson We hope you enjoy looking around. If you have any questions feel free to e- mail me. I'll respond as soon as I can. Sue Sablic [email protected] Transcribing 1850 census for DeKalb County, Indiana
