Collin County Census

Are you looking for information from the Collin County Census?  We have a microfilm collection of the Federal Census for Collin County from 1850 through 1940.  The only census not included in this collection is from 1890, as this is the year that most of the census records were lost in a fire.  So come visit the Roy and Helen Hall Memorial Library to take advantage of seeing your relatives names and those of their neighbors.

Upcoming Events:
Thursday, August 9 6:45 pm at the Roy and Helen Hall Memorial Library - 101 East Hunt Street: The North Collin County Genealogical Society will be hosting Mr. Aaron Holt, from the National Archives in Fort Worth.  Mr. Holt will be speaking about Military Records.  This program is open to all.
