CURRENTLY IN PROGRESS

1894 Michigan State Census Records for Sanilac County

This project is currently under way, and yes, we realize that Ancestry.com has it online now, but everyone doesn’t have access to the internet or is willing to pay for their services. As of 21 August 2004, it is in the proofing stage and is moving slowly.

FUTURE POSSIBILITIES

1884 Michigan State Census Records for Sanilac County

This is an intriguing project, as the State Census’ are not available on-line and only on microfilm at specific locations. They are often not complete and some years missing altogether.
