Lewis County, WV -- 1870 Census Images

There are 264 pages (and scanned image files) for the 1870 Lewis County WV census.

Volunteers are needed to transcribe index information from the image-files. If you are interested in helping to transcribe the index, contact the USGenWeb Census Project's, West Virginia Census Assignment Coordinator (email link is on the following webpage)
http://www.us-census.org/states/westvirginia/

After the index is created, the USGenWeb Census Project® will link each name in the index to the scanned image page where that name appears.

The name of each census-image-file is the stamped page number for that sheet. When the stamped page numbers were added, they were placed only on the front-side. The reverse-side of the page was not stamped. An "a" has been added to the number on the pages that were stamped. For the reverse-side of the page, a "b" has been added to the same number that's stamped on the front-side.

Note: When the pages for this census were stamped, the last sheet for Sheridan Township did not get a stamped number, therefore, a "c" and "d" were added to the stamped number of the previous sheet (375).

The following list shows the 1870 Lewis County WV districts with page-ranges (and links to the scanned census image files).

After this census is transcribed, the USGenWeb Census Project® will link each name in the index to the scanned image page where that name appears.
