While Hillsdale County Michigan was formed in 1829 from a non-county area
of Michigan, it was not organized until 1835; therefore the first census
it appears in is the 1840 census. Decennial enumerations were taken of the county from 1840 onward, with
the 1920 census being the most recent schedule that is currently available.
The 1890 census, as with most counties in the United States, was destroyed
in a fire. However, the 1895 state census survived for Hillsdale County
and has been indexed.
Starting with the 1850 census, all individuals living in the household
were to be listed; previously, only the heads of households were listed.
Statewide indexes are available for the 1840, 1850, 1860 and 1870 census
enumerations. The 1880, 1900, 1910 and 1920 enumerations are soundexed.
The Southeastern Michigan Genealogical Society has also indexed most of
the schedules for the county, including the 1895 State Census, mentioned
above.
