I have compiled this information from attempting to read the microfilm held at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah. This microfilm contains the terms and conditions of Indentures, Land/Property Contracts, Military Discharges and other civil records of the residents of Sanilac County, Michigan from 1866 until 1889. The records are written in fancy old fashion cursive longhand. This document is very hard to read, especially names therefore I have attempted to put all additional possibilities in ( ). If you know the correct name, please send me the corrections at Sanilac@aol.com. I am attempting to transcribe/index one year of records each month, however this will take me two year to complete at that pace. If you are interested helping with this project, please contact me at Sanilac@aol.com.
