HI All, Since Presque Isle county enjoys a lot of ties to Alpena county, I thought I would post this to the mailing list. The 1870 Federal Census for Presque Isle County is now on line. Plans are being made to have the 1860 Census up shortly. (In 1860, Presque Isle Township was part of Mackinaw County, so that is all that will be posted.) Now that I am back online (recovering from a computer crash --- computers do get old and die out sooner or later), I am hoping to start copying some pages of Alpena birth records and getting them on line. I will be contacting those of you who so graciously offered your transcription services last year in the next couple of weeks. I still have to get to the LDS and order the tapes before I can make copies. Thanks for hanging in there. Please remember, if you have any obits or news tidbits, please post them to the boards (obits and bios, respectively.) Anything that you may have of interest to Alpena County researchers (and Presque Isle County too), please feel free to email me.
