Hi all, Does anyone have an idea of how, in what order, the townships, etc. were enumerated on the 1850 census? Did they go by quadrant? Am I missing a web page that explains this? FamilySearch perhaps? Anyone have an index that describes or hints to the answer? Help please! I've spent a good amount of time scrolling through and would very much like to expedite the search. I think this info (for each "bundled twp" census) would help others if it was included it on the Grant Co. USGenWeb site. I've been taking notes on some townships on certain census for other areas, where they, like this one, do not have ED#s or are not indexed by twp--are all listed as "various" or "unknown" townships. I'm listing each township in order of appearance and how many pages, etc. Thanks for any assistance! Di
I may not be able to help you, but, if you know the family you are searching for, they would be on the index for the State. This index shows the townships - thus - Name County page township. I hope this is some benefit in your search, Phyl in Reno ----- Original Message ----- From: <KinDetective@aol.com> To: <WIGRANT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2002 6:04 PM Subject: [WIGRANT] Q - Grant Co. 1850 Fed Census > Hi all, > Does anyone have an idea of how, in what order, the townships, etc. were > enumerated on the 1850 census? > Did they go by quadrant?
