Kim -- I don't know about websites, but there's a book that would definitely help you. It's called "Map Guide to the U.S. Federal Censuses, 1790-1920" by William Thorndale and William Dollarhide." This book shows county boundaries for each census year, along with the current boundaries in a faint outline. It is an excellent resource for determining just which county might hold records for our ancestors at a given time. Do you live in Sheboygan County? We have it at the Family History Center here. Our hours are Tuesday and Thursday from 10:00 to 2:00 and 7:00 to 9:00, and Fridays from 10:00 to 4:00. Happy hunting!
