Monona Township School Register
1850

~source: FamilySearch.org, School Records
~data extracted from images by S. Ferrall

Please Read! Transcriber's notes: I believe the name given is the Head of Household (HOH) or parent, although on the original it is not labeled. The numbers for each day are more than likely the number of their children who attended school. Of course, I don't know for certain, but this is the only thing that makes sense when compared to an 1850 Monona twp. census transcription (enumerated in August 1850). The column titled Notes contains the names of the school-age children in that household as per the 1850 census, other helpful info. and differences in surname spelling between the Register and Census transcription. The notes column IS NOT part of the original record and was added by the transcriber.
