Here are the film numbers you will need to order the films: Census of Washtenaw County, Michigan 1827-1834 955,813 Item 1 Census of Washtenaw County, Michigan 1845 955,813 Item 2 Thanks so much for your help Jan! It looks like I might find something useful in these microfilms. I may just purchase the reel from Heritage Quest since with the price of gas 2 or 3 trips to the FHC may cost as much as the film :) Sherrye
