1880 Manistee County Census Lookups
There is no index of names available for this 1880 census. So, you must have some idea of WHERE in the county they lived. For example, Arcadia, Bear Lake, Brown Twp, Manistee City, Manistee 1st Ward, Stronach, etc. This is a huge census, so searching for a needle in a haystack is not an option. Also, do not ask the volunteer to send you all of the "Smith's", etc. I truly appreciate her volunteer efforts, so please lets not overload her with requests that are impossible.
