I am happy to announce that the 8th ward is currently going on line at the URL below my name under Troy. We now have the following wards on line: 6th, 8th, 9th, 11th, and 12th. This is a total of 19,555 people, 1,926 families and 3,755 dwellings. Here are the people you should thank for all the hard work they have done to transcribe this census so others can be helped: Ron Mauer, Dorsey Clark, Lynn Grice, Bob McConihe, Carol Waldron, Joan Firth-Kaysen and MaryAnn McConnell. Without them, this wouldn't be possible. Again, I warn you, check all spellings for your surname. The enumerators spelled many of our surnames wrong, plus it is very hard to read their handwriting. If you would like to join this volunteer project, email me privately. Happy hunting. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com
Pat, Tell those volunteers to slow down so that I don't have to update my website's link to the 1880 Troy census so often (just kidding). Keep up the good work, all of you. This census is a major contribution to the online genealogical information available for that city.
