Also added links to the Census Record Main Index for Archive.org downloads of Federal Census Records for Cass County. A few years ago Allen County Public Library microfilms of all original Federal Census records for Cass County were digitized and uploaded to Archive.org, a non-profit internet library. Census records are not indexed, transcribed, or searchable at Archive.org, BUT anyone can freely download complete census records for Cass County and scroll through the original images at leisure on their own computer. Please note the file sizes when choosing a format to download. PDF file format is popular and widely used, but it does require significantly more hard drive space than some other options and consequently the download will take longer.
