Farm schedules are not available for 1900 and 1910--they were destroyed by Congressional order. I think they are only available for 1850, 1860, 1870 and 1880.
I mentioned the farm schedule numbers were provided on them. The presentation is on the population head count schedules only. Great job checking into census schedules! :)
A nice summary of the census records.
Thank you. Glad you found so, and thank you for joining. :)
I had not considered the effects of the Civil War (1870 census) or the stock market crash and Great Depresson (1930 and 1940 censuses) on my ancestors.
Yay to new insights! Now don't forget to start digging further into the lives of your ancestors! ;)
Appreciated knowing what is in the census reports and how to use the data.
Glad to hear. :)
Very helpful and interesting.
Thank you. Glad you found it helpful and interesting, just what I strive for. ;)
An informative overview with lots of suggestions for what you might find. Thanks.
You are so welcome! So glad you found it informative. :)
New and good info on1940 & 1950 census distinctions for me even though I have been using them for a while.
Glad you got some new insights! As a matter of fact, I barely touched on the distinctions; there are plenty more that there wasn't time for in this particular presentation. Stay on the lookout for the deep dives for those censuses. ;)
A good overview of the censuses covered.
Thank you. Glad you could join. :)
