The microfilm reel for the 1870 census for Randolph County Illinois also contains the 1870 census for Richland County as well. We provided the page number specific to Randolph along with the community covered by the page numbers below. This should assist you in finding your ancestor faster. There are 892 pages digitized on the microfilm covering both counties. The page number is not the page number on the census page in the top left as that consistently resets itself, it’s actually the number imprinted above the word “Marshal” on the right side of every other image, as 2 census pages equals one microfilm image (A=left page + B=right page). The microfilm starts at page 202A as such the first town in the list below, Coulterville, starts the microfilm reel. Unfortunately the first couple pages of Coulterville were not well scanned and are very difficult to read.
