Databases > Census > 1870 Head of Household Federal Census Index >

The enclosed census index contains only the names of the heads of each household in Eau Claire Co., Wisconsin, along with any other name that is different from the head of household. If a household contained two families, then only the oldest of each of the surnames residing in that household will be listed, whether the oldest person is a child or an adult. Names are listed as they appear to be on the original census records. As a result, there may be mis-spellings of names. You are encouraged to use a variety of spelling combinations when looking through these records for specific heads of households. Please keep in mind that this website is not out to 'change history' and will not make corrections of names, as this is how the names appear on the actual census. Some names are completely or partially unreadable. These names are represented fully or partially with blanks ( _ ). Other incomplete information will have notations in regards to whether the original material was unreadable or not provided.

All individuals listed here were found on Microfilm Roll # M593 - Roll 1712. Page numbers have been included here for your use in finding the records more easily when viewing the original microfilm rolls.

Also, please note: The four towns of North Eau Claire, Eau Claire, Oak Grove & West Eau Claire constituted the city of Eau Claire at that time. These towns embraced a small amount of farming population. The point where the village ended and the country began was indicated on the original census by the enumerator.
