Hi Steve -- There certainly should be censuses for those years. Every now and again, a census gets destroyed, but to my knowledge, Grainger's fine. However, I've just started my research here, so I could be wrong. The 1890 census was almost completely destroyed for the entire country. That's about the only one that you shouldn't be able to get. Good luck with your research. Stephen Pierce wrote: > Forgive me if this is a newbie question, but is there such a > thing as an 1860 and 1870 Grainger County Census ? > > Steve
