1895-1896 Houghton County Polk Directory

Transcribed by Joseph F. Martin

the data is not missing


Given that the 1890 U.S. census was destroyed by a fire which has resulted in a gap of twenty years between the 1880 and 1900 U.S. census records, I have transcribed the names that "appear to be" Polish from the 1895-1896 Houghton County Polk Directory for Calumet and Laurium. Perhaps this will provide important information for those who are researching their Polish ancestors in the Calumet area. The spelling of the surnames is taken exactly from the directory, although some are obviously misspelled.
