Dear Alrena: You should be able to order the Alpena County Census Records from the LDS Library near you. You can also ask for interloan library at your local library and you should be able to get it through this method also. Some people who work in these libraries don't know what they are doing and you sometimes have to literally spell it out for them. If you have a State Library in your State of Residence you should also be ble to obtain the Cnesus for this county also. In the State of Michigan Library in Lansing they have all of the Census reocrds for all states and Canada also. I am only hoping they would start getting other countries in such as England. Hopefully this has helped you in obtaining the Census Records for Alpena Jean Payton ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alrena McKinnon" <alrena_m@hotmail.com> To: <NEWGEN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, October 07, 2000 7:49 AM Subject: Re: [NEWGEN] The future of genealogy? > Ok, I've read the books but how do you get information from out of state > WHEN you are unable to go there to those dusty, dirty rooms?
