here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate

Michigan Census online research should begin
with what is available online for free. If this proves fruitful then
congratulations! If not, then I would suggest signing up for the online
census images (links to the right) where you can access all the available
online Michigan census information directly from your computer at home.
Michigan was a territory during the 1820 and 1830 census.
There are few extant state census available for Michigan.
Of most importance to earlier setters would be the ones from the French as
early as 1710. Unfortunately these do not appear online, however, more
information about these earlier census can be had from Michigan
Censuses 1710-1830 Under the French, British, and Americans by Donna
Russell (Detroit Michigan: Detroit Society for Genealogical Research,
1982).
