Michigan Census Information
Michigan was a territory during the 1820 and 1830 census.
There are few extant state census available for Michigan. Of most importance to earlier setters would be the ones from the French as early as 1710. Unfortunately these do not appear online, however, more information about these earlier census can be had from Michigan Censuses 1710-1830 Under the French, British, and Americans by Donna Russell (Detroit Michigan: Detroit Society for Genealogical Research, 1982).
