Subject: [INKOSCIU] 1860 Kosciusko Co Census
Dear Readers:
I came across a book "The Complete 1860 Federal Census of Kosciusko Co.
Indiana" published in 1988. The inside it stated that the information
was taken from an original census found in 1988 in the Historical
Society basement. They had found that NOT ALL NAMES WERE MICRO FILMED
OR INDEXED. I found this to be true because I finally found my family.
I do not know if the jail museum library has a copy. I found the book
in the Wisconsin State Historical Library in Madison, Wis. I know this
will help many of you.
Jan Wenzel
