Were your ancestors farmers or manufacturers?  Might they have died in a census year?  Were they ever confined to an asylum?  If you answered yes to any of these questions, you need to be using the federal census nonpopulation schedules.  Come join Matt Rutherford, Curator of Genealogy and Local History, on Tuesday, November 3rd, at 9:30 am, when he describes the value of nonpopulation census schedules to your research.  The talk will be held at the Gail Borden Public Library District, 270 N. Grove Ave., in Elgin.  For further information contact the Elgin Genealogical Society.
