Also none are indexed that I know about but hear Ancestry is working on 1855. LDS has filmed them all which were taken on the 5 years from 1825-1875, 1892, 1905-1925. Unfortunately, many burned in a fire and you need to check by county to see which ones survived. They are great resources and help fill in the 10 year gaps. Thanks, Pat-- I'm still hoping I'll find the missing family there, one way or another. Mary
