Arenac County Census |
Delving into the unknown, I begin this trek in Arenac County. It is the easiest for me since I live here. Starting with the 1930 Census, I plan on going backwards through the years. Below the townships listed is a numbered key that contains the questions that were asked during the census. Please follow the active links below. Good Luck!
1930 Arenac Townships

I found it easier to use these numbers below rather than typing the questions out all the time. I hope it is not too confusing.
