Dear listers, John Haberman <[email protected]> has very graciously donated hundreds of hours of work through the indexing of Steele Co., MN census records. As always, it is heartily recommended that original, primary sources be checked when ever possible. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mnsteele (please let me know if any links or anything is broken) These are from the Federal Census (microfilmed) images covering 1880, 1900, 1910, 1920 & 1930. Because some of the images from the 1880 Census are virtually unreadable, he has extracted the property owners names from the 1879 Steele County Platt Map and included files with surnames for Clinton Falls and Summit Townships. An example from the "S" surname list from the 1930 index: Surname, Soundex Page Name(s) & Age(s) Steinbauer, S351 203A Victor 22, Bernadette 21 Steinbauer, S351 213B Anna 63 Steinberg, S351 136B John 40, Augusta 35, Herman 14, Elsie 12, Olga 10, Emil 8, Evelyn 5 Steinberg, S351 217A John 71, Pauline 66, Ida 34 Images for the Steele Co. 1860 census are also online in two locations: .tif format with partial indexing - http://www.rootsweb.com/~mnsteele/1860cen.htm .gif format at (scroll all the way to the bottom here) http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/mn/mnfiles.htm Happy Hunting & Best Regards, Kathy http://www.rootsweb.com/~mnsteele
