A friend posted this to another list: "The entire index for the 1870 Michigan census is searchable at the Library of Michigan site. http://envoy.libofmich.lib.mi.us/1870_census/search.htm " A search on the SLOAN name came up with 67 records (which I will not try to duplicate here). Happy hunting...
