Bohnert Census
Anton Bohnert and
Rosalia Catharina (nee Leible) Bohnert
~ Paternal Great Grandparents ~
The following census pages follow the history of ANTON BOHNERT and ROSALIA CATHARINA (nee LEIBLE) BOHNERT, our paternal grandparents, beginning when each of their names first appear in census records in 1860 and concluding in 1950, the last year for which the census is publicly available.
Included for each census is the full census record, as well as a map of the county indicating the township in which they lived at the time the census was taken. Misspellings of names on the census information record are frequent and are often due to inaccurate transcriptions of the original census documents as well as enumerator error.
