1830 U.S. Federal Census
Written by Kelly Whitelock   
Wednesday, 02 May 2007

Did you know that at the time of the 1830 Federal Census there were only 24 States in the United States of America?  Kind of interesting!

O.K., so here's the information for the 1830 Federal Census.  As you will notice, they added more information this decade.  They have added categories that include those individuals that are deaf, dumb and/or blind.  This is interesting information about our relatives and gives us the statistics of disabled people in the U.S.

Please keep in mind that the Federal Census also was able to gleen statistics like those of disabled people to put into place Federal programs that would potentially help them.  The Federal Census has been a great tool to help our country.

Monday, 30 April 2007

The 1820 Federal Census was a little more detailed.  You'll see that they added categories breaking down the ages of the Slaves and the Free Colored Persons.  This gave them a better picture of how the areas were growing and the actual numbers of people in different races and age groups.

Free White Males:

 heads of families.

1810 U.S. Federal Census
Written by Kelly Whitelock   
Friday, 27 April 2007

Sadly, most of the 1810 Federal Census was damaged in a fire in 1921 and was then destroyed by bureaucratic error.

Also, the information that the Assistant Marshall's collected did not differ from the information collected in the 1800 Federal Census.  You will see that things will change in future years, quite dramatically!

Here's a list of the information on the 1810 Federal Census:

1)  County
2)  City
3)  Page
4)  Names of Heads of Families.
Number of Free White Males:
5)  Under 10
6)  10 thru 15
7)  16 thru 25
8)  26 thru 44
9)  45 and over
Number of Free White Females:
10) Under 10
11)  10 thru 15
12)  16 thru 25
13)  26 thru 44
14)  45 and over
15)  Number of all other free persons.
16)  Number of Slaves.

Finally, after 3 consecutive Federal Census', you can see a pattern for certain families.  For those that stayed in the same homes or areas, this makes our genealogy research easier!

1800 Census Info. to Glean
Written by Kelly Whitelock   
Thursday, 26 April 2007

The Assistant Marshall's that went door to door and acquired the household information on their assigned area residents had to be in good physical shape!  Going door-to-door in all kinds of weather and covering various terrain had to be a lot of work.  Not all areas were neighborhoods and sometimes going farm to farm would require miles and miles of travel for only a few households.  Then, can you imagine when someone was not home and they had to wait to get the information from them!  I'm sure that riding in a buggy was not very comfortable.  Thanks to their hard work, it has enabled us to have the Federal Census records microfilmed.  A true blessing for our genealogy work today!

Well, the 1800 Federal Census was updated to include a little more information.  This decade included an age breakdown of residents in the household that were free white males and free white females.  This lets us get a better idea of the ages of the free white people people within the household.  Although, it doesn't pinpoint ages, it's better than nothing like in the 1790 Federal Census.  Other than that, there wasn't anything else added during this Federal Census. 

You'll notice also, that the pages don't reflect headings on these earlier Federal Census records.  I think that's because everything was hand written and the first page of the ledger probably had the headings on that.  Then that info. would just be assumed and carried over to the subsequent pages. 

Here's a list of the information on the 1800 Federal Census:

1)  County
2)  City
3)  Page
4)  Names of Heads of Families.
Number of Free White Males:
5)  Under 10
6)  10 thru 15
7)  16 thru 25
8)  26 thru 44
9)  45 and over
Number of Free White Females:
10) Under 10
11)  10 thru 15
12)  16 thru 25
13)  26 thru 44
14)  45 and over
15)  Number of all other free persons.
16)  Number of Slaves.

That's it for the 1800 Federal Census.  I'll add more soon!

Federal Census Gleaning
Written by Kelly Whitelock   
Wednesday, 25 April 2007

The Federal Census has a wealth of information and it's our job to become "Glean Machines" to put this information to good use.  This means that we glean or harvest as much information as possible to help us move further backwards with our genealogy.  I know, that might sound weird but this is about our ancestors and we are working backwards to find them!  Haha! 

As you move through the Federal Census records you will see that each of the census periods has different information.  This is where you will need to pay special attention to detail and be the "Glean Machine" that you're meant to be! 

Here I have listed the information that the 1790 Federal Census provides.   

The Township, State and Year was written in the left margin of the page.

1)  County
2)  City
3)  Page
4)  Names of Heads of Families.
5)  Number of Free white males of 16 years & upwards, including heads of families.
6)  Number of Free white males under 16 years.
7)  Number of Free white females including heads of families.
8)  Number of all other free persons.
9)  Number of Slaves.

Each time I write, I will add more Federal Census history, go over each of the Federal Census periods and the information that they provide.  I'll write more soon!

Census Records = Genealogy Info.
Written by Kelly Whitelock   
Monday, 23 April 2007

Census Records are an incredible resource for genealogy!  The U.S. Federal Census began in 1790 under the responsibility of Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson.

The statistical information that a census taker collected changed a lot over the years and continues to change today. 

The Federal Census is released to the public every 72 years.  Currently, the 1930 Federal Census is the most recent Federal Census available.  All Census' prior to that time are available as well. 

I'm going to cover some interesting points about the Federal Census in a series of blogs over the next week or so.  I hope that this will help you see how significant this information can be for your genealogy research!

At the Family History Center on Monday I had a friend tell me about www.deadfred.com.  I know that it's a funny name but it's a really neat website!  People that have picked up photos at antique stores or other places can really use it to help others.  You can post photos on the website by the last name of the person that's in the photo if it is marked.  Luckily, there are people that did mark their old photos but they may have been lost by disinterested relatives at the time of their death, etc.  If you have any old photos that you have found that you want to post on the website, please do.  You don't necessarily have to give them to the relatives but it's at least a place where they can make copies of them and have them for their records. 

There are even stores that allow you to take a disc of scanned photos into their store and print them out on photo paper.  You can also buy photo paper for your printer to copy them on to. 

Have a great day!
