Problems with the 1890 Census

Henry Rosenberg Nov 23, 2019 1:58 PM

Many of us have had difficulty finding the 1890 census. I just found out through Genealogy Bank that the 1890 census was destroyed in a fire in 1921 and very little data remains. However, they did have an article with suggestions on how and where to find other information. I have attached the article below. I just thought this might help save many a lot of time and effort. https://blog.genealogybank.com/genealogy-101-what-to-do-about-the-lost-1890-census.html

Please refer to NARA's 1890 Census web pages about the fragments of the 1890 census that did survive and include the following:

(1) General population census schedules
(2) Schedules of Union Civil War Veterans or their widows
(3) Oklahoma territorial schedules
(4) List of selected Delaware African-Americans,
(5) Statistics of Lutheran congregations
(6) Statistical information for the entire United States

  Thank you. I think that was in the article I posted. If not, I've seen it elsewhere. For many, the limited information may not be helpful and for years I had been looking for 1890 census info. I just thought it would save people time.
  Happy Thanksgiving,
  Henry
