A
few weeks back, I found myself trying to locate SCHMIDT in the Town of
Hartland -- I looked from 1860 - 1930 and THOUGHT this would be an easy
one -- no misspellings on Schmidt, right? Wrong -- I looked for
an entire evening and finally tracked them through all the censuses -
SCHMIDT, SCHMITH, SMITH, etc. I sure wish the census takers could
see us now,
looking over every pen stroke to see if it was an "a" or a sloppy
"o"... some are very neat but sometimes I think this might have very
well been their first grasp at penmanship! Needless to say, these
records are a great source of information!
The 1930 Federal Census Index here is just that, an
index. The actual census has so much more information, but this
should at least help you locate your family in the census, whether you
view it on microfilm or online. (BTW, that's why Hartland
Twp. is completed first -- the rest will eventually follow -- I
promise!)
Enjoy!!
