For your information:
I just received in the mail a sale flyer from Heritage Books, Inc.
They are now selling the 1880 Federal Census for Pike County, Indiana.
This book has been transcribed and indexed by Michael L. Lance.
Not only does it contain all of the basics: name, gender, age, birthplace,
relationship, occupation, school attendance, literacy, infirmities, real
estate values, personal property values and birthplace of parents - but he
has consulted various area marriage records, cemetery listings, other
census enumerations, published family and area histories to include missing
middle names or initials, maiden names of wives/widows, and names of
deceased spouses.
The book also contains an all name index.
they are selling at a pre-publication price of $46.00 until January 31,
2003 after which they will be $57.50.
