In WI they kept township designations when people lived in cities / villages within the townships and had separate pages for the census within the township for those places. I am not familiar with how KS did that, or KS geography. One more question: I found a Fostoria, KS listed in Osage Co, KS in addition to the Fostoria in Pottawatomie Co through a site that another user posted. Is this correct? They look pretty close to each other. Checked Pottawatomie Co site and saw no references to Fostoria. Could this be the same place, as well - or are they really 2 different locations? Melanie Rice
