from 1876, another from 1911 and the last one sometime after 1966.
These should help you in establishing where your ancestors lived at these
time periods, especially for the 1880, 1900, 1910, 1920 and 1930 federal
census years and the 1884 and 1894 state census years. For 1876 go to http://kent.migenweb.org/platmaps/1876/grindex.html For 1911 go to http://kent.migenweb.org/platmaps/gr1911/index.html For 1966 go to http://kent.migenweb.org/platmaps/1966/index.html Or go to "Platmaps" and find the sources. |
