Made available to The Steele Co. genealogy pages by: John Haberman ========================================================================= About 1/3 of the names from the 1880 Federal Census for Summit Township, Steele County, Minnesota are not available because 4 pages are missing from the microfilmed census images. This means that up to 200 individuals are missing from the census listings from at least 35 households/families/surnames. Luckily there exist platt maps containing the names of the "Landowners of Record" in 1879. These can be helpful in finding a missing Steele County ancestor. I have extracted the names from the map for Summit Township. As with the census image extracts, I have interpreted the names as I read them. You will probably interpret some of the names differently. Some persons own more than one property in Summit Township but they are listed only once in this names list. Some persons do exist more than once in this list because ownership is sometimes listed by name and somtimes by initials on the map.
