Census Information

Note: State census records for Alpena County were not preserved.

1830 1830 Michigan Census (courtesy of Kent County MIGenWeb)  Alpena County officially was not in existence at this time. However, it would have been considered a portion of Michilimackinac County.    Censuses available from Berrien, Brown, Cass, Chippewa, Crawford, Iowa, Lenawee, Macomb, Michilimackinac, Monroe, Oakland, St. Clair, St. Joseph, Van Buren, Washtenaw and Wayne Counties. 1840   Again, officially Alpena was not Alpena County YET.
