Notes on the 1880 Census
  • The above census data was found in a January 2000 search by Terry Nelson. The record was located through the use of the Soundex system.
  • An attempt has been made to reproduce all data exactly as it is on the original record; some wording changes have been made for clarity and further information on the meaning of column headings is on the census sheet.
  • Both Dwelling Number and Family Number are artificial numbers used by the census enumerator.
  • The above US Census was taken on June 10, 1880 for Montgomery, LeSuer County, Minnesota.
  • If wish to explore any of this data further, please contact Terry directly.

Notes on the 1885 Census
  • The above census data was found in a May 2000 search by Terry Nelson.
  • An attempt has been made to reproduce all data exactly as it is on the original record; some wording changes have been made for clarity and further information on the meaning of column headings is on the census sheet.
  • The above Minnesota Census was taken about May 1, 1885 for the Village of Rush City, Chisago County, Minnesota.
  • If wish to explore any of this data further, please contact Terry directly.
  • Touch here to view a scan of the Sokolik and Jana 1885 Census.
  • See also the Jan and Anna Sokolik Census Records.
  • By 1885 the Sokoliks and Janas had different but adjacent household numbers suggesting they lived next to each other in Rush City and may have lived near Jan Filipek in 1880 in Montgomery.
  • Terry notes that "The enumerator was a horrendous speller and he spelled their name Sopolik. I am certain it is them. Next door to them is the Gunia (Jana) family and although again grossly misspelled I am certain it is them especially as I compare to the 1880 census. Frank and Katerina Gunia in 1885 have four children the same daughter Kate as in 1880 who is now 5 and three other children ranging from 0-4 years.
  • Of further interest is that in the same home with the Janas are two people listed as Polocek. At first we thought it was Frank Palecek must have been the husband of Mary Filipek who had bought the Sokolik Family Farm. However, we found later that he died on April 10, 1884. So there must be some other connection to the above Frank and Anna Palecek.
