Following is a list of all the Keech's listed in the 1880 LDS Census Index using the following criteria:
Search in 1880 LDS Census index for: Keech; Census Locality: Michigan; Exact Spelling: Off. If you go the website and use the same criteria you will see a numbered list of 122 Keech's. You can refer to the LDS # in brackets in each enumeration that is next to the name to follow thru. This list is in in the order listed from the index.
I would appreciate any help with information on the Keech's designated as: ********** UNKNOWN *************; which are Keech's which I don't have in my databases. I am willing to share anything I have about any of the others.
