1850 U.S. Federa Census Info.
Written by Kelly Whitelock   

In this U.S. Federal Census it looks like they standardized the form that was filled out.  The ledger now has blanks that are filled in and it seems to be more uniform.  This is a plus since some of the census records prior to this time, had a little bit of variance that can throw us off if we are looking at different state's records. 

Also, you'll notice that the amount of information had decreased this decade!  This is just another wave in the Census Ocean!
