Wayne Co., IL 1855 State Census |
Welcome! This page was abstracted, submitted, and is copyright by one of our county's volunteer, Dana Hill, who transcribed and proof read the data from a faded and hard to read microfilm, and owns the copyright for them.
PLEASE READ the information provided. I will not answer email if you did not read it!

The middle of each page on the microfilm was faded, making some
of the names almost impossible to read, and I don't know enough about names
in right County to decipher some of them.
Also please note that the total number of persons in the household does not always add up correctly, but I transcribed them as they were. Plus, not all of the columns had entries. I left them blank
Dianna's comments:
It is important for you to use your researching abilities,
Do NOT contact Dana or me for help to find your surname. If you can
not find it under one spelling, think about other possible ways and look.
We provide the data, you do your research.
When a name could not be made out, it is in italic. Many of the names are hard to read (being so old and poor handwriting) and have several spellings (remember accents made it hard to understand a person, or it is spelled as pronounced), as example: AYER could be AIRER AIER AER.
I wrote a script to take the plain text and put it into a html table. When a field was blank the script entered a zero.
Both state census have indexes but, not linked. As in a book,
when you find your surname in the index, you have to go to the file and
search for the name.
