The census gives us a glimpse into the lives of Americans in 1930, and contains information about a household's family members and occupants including: birthplaces, occupations, immigration, citizenship, and military service. CONT The census can be a valuable tool to use when researching your twentieth-century ancestors because it contains records for approximately 123 million Americans. If you had family in the United States during the early twentieth century, you are likely to find at least one relative's information within these census records. This makes the 1930 census a good place to start research if you are a beginner, or if your family, vital, or religious records are missing. CONT History CONT The 1930 U.S. Federal Census Records Today CONT Unique Features CONT Search Tips CONT Interesting Facts CONT FAQ CONT Related Information CONT CONT History CONT The 1930 census began on 2 April 1930 for the general population of the United States. (The enumeration in Alaska began on 1 October 1929.) Regardless of when an individual was contacted, all responses were to reflect the status of the individual as of 1 April 1930. CONT Enumerators (census takers) collected the following information for each household: CONT Address (name of the street, avenue, or road; house number) CONT Occupant (name of each person and their relationship to head of family) CONT Residence (whether home is owned or rented; value of home; whether home is farm residence; whether home has a radio) CONT Personal (sex, race, age, marital status, college attendance, ability to read and write, birthplace, and birthplace of parents) CONT Citizenship (language spoken before coming to the United States; year of immigration; whether naturalized or alien; ability to speak English) CONT Occupation (trade or profession; industry or business working in; class of worker; whether worked the previous day; line number of unemployment schedule) CONT Military (whether veteran or not; war or expedition participated in) CONT Note: Individuals in Alaska, and Indians were asked slightly different questions. For example, Indians were not asked about their mother's country of origin, but which tribe she belonged to. CONT CONT The 1930 U.S. Federal Census Records Today CONT In order to protect the privacy of individual citizens, census records are not released publicly until exactly 72 years from the official census date. CONT Using the microfilm from the 1930 census, Ancestry.com created images of all the available census records. In addition, Ancestry.com indexed all the names in the census so they are searchable online. CONT CONT Unique Features CONT Servicemen were not recorded with their families in the 1930 census; they were treated as residents of their duty posts. If you're looking for someone in the military, you should not assume they will be listed in their home town. CONT Children that were born between the official start date of the census and the actual day of enumeration were not included. Individuals that were alive on the official start date of the census but deceased by the actual day of enumeration were included. CONT Indians were included in the enumeration of the general population, though they were asked different questions than the general population. CONT CONT Search Tips CONT The census contains great information, but some data may not be completely accurate. For example, individuals may not have known the answers to certain questions; the census taker may have asked a neighbor for information if the family could not be contacted; and people did not always give truthful information. CONT Family members may not be included in the index because of errors or omissions, but may appear in the actual census records. If you can't find the individual you're looking for, don't give up. By searching through states, cities, and towns, you may be able to find record of the individual in the actual records. CONT If you encounter illegible writing, you may want to study the handwriting of the enumerator who recorded the census form you're looking at. You can do this by picking out the most legible letters and words and working from there. For example, the enumerator listing Abraham Lincoln in the 1860 census (Illinois) wrote the letter "L" in a way that resembles an "S". Without looking at other words on the page, one might think that he was a "Sawyer" instead of a "Lawyer." CONT When searching, you might want to choose the "Soundex" spelling option instead of using exact matching. (Soundex lets you search based on the phonetic spellings of names.) Searching phonetically can be useful because census takers may have made spelling errors, or created "Americanized" versions of foreign names. CONT CONT Interesting Facts CONT This is the last census in which individuals were asked whether they could read or write. CONT Unlike previous censuses, this census did not ask individuals for their year of naturalization. CONT This is the first census in which individuals were asked: the value of their home, or the amount of rent paid each month; their age at the time of their first marriage; the specific war a man had fought in. CONT The 1930 census is the only census to ask whether the occupants of the home owned a radio. CONT Based on the census, the average number of people in a household was 4.1. CONT In 1930, the average life expectancy for an American was 59.7 years. CONT The leading country for people of foreign birth was Italy (1.8 million). CONT Ancestry.com used microfilm from the National Archives Records Administration (NARA) to create its digitized images of the census. CONT CONT FAQ CONT CONT What do the abbreviations in the 1930 census schedules mean? CONT Those recording census information in the year 1930 were provided sheets by the government on which information was to be recorded. At the bottom of these pages were found a set of instructions, abbreviations to be used, and which entries were required to be recorded. The following is a list of abbreviations that were to be used in their respective columns. (The information provided is transcribed directly from the census schedules.) CONT Abbreviations were to be used in the columns as shown: CONT Cols. 18, 19, 20, and 21\emdash Use no abbreviations for state or country of birth or for mother tongue CONT Col. 6\emdash Indicate the home-maker in each family by the letter "H" following the word which shows the relationship as "Wife - H" CONT Col. 7\emdash Owned = O, Rented = R CONT Col. 9\emdash Radio Set = R. Make no entry for families having no radio set. CONT Col. 11\emdash Male = M, Female = F CONT Col. 12\emdash White = W, Negro = Neg., Mexican = Mex., Indian = In., Chinese = Ch., Japanese = Jp., Filipina = Fil., Hindu = Hin., Korean = Kor., Other races spell out in full CONT Col. 14\emdash Single = S, Married = M, Widowed = Wd, Divorced = D CONT Col. 23\emdash Naturalized = Na, First Papers = Pa, Alien = Al CONT Col. 27\emdash Employer = E, Wage or Salary Worker = W, Working on own account = O, Unpaid worker, member of the family = NP CONT Col. 31\emdash World War = WW, Spanish-American War = Sp, Civil War = Civ, Philippine Insurrection = Phil, Boxer Rebellion = Box, Mexican Expedition = Mex CONT Which columns were enumerators required to complete in the 1930 census schedules? CONT Entries were required in the following columns: CONT Cols. 6, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 18, 19, 20, and 25\emdash For all persons CONT Cols. 7, 8, 9, and 10\emdash For heads of household only (Col. 8 requires no entry for a farm family) CONT Col. 15\emdash For married persons only CONT Col. 17\emdash For all persons 12 years of age and over CONT Cols. 21, 22, and 23\emdash For all foreign-born persons CONT Col. 24\emdash For all persons 10 years of age and over CONT Col. 26, 27, and 28\emdash For all persons for whom an occupation is reported in Col. 25 CONT Col. 30\emdash For all males 21 years of age and over CONT Where are the original census records, and can I access them? CONT The original paper schedules have been destroyed; the 1930 census schedules were photographed and their images were placed on microfilm that is maintained by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). CONT What is an enumeration district? CONT An enumeration district is the geographical area that was assigned to a single census taker. CONT How many people were included in the 1930 census? CONT The general census recorded a population of approximately 123,202,624 individuals. CONT Why would I want to search the census by page number? CONT Once you have located a relative, you can use the page number to pull up other names from that same page in the census\emdash your ancestor's neighbors. Neighbors may provide valuable clues that you can use to further your research. During this time period, it was not uncommon for families to remain in close proximity to each other. You might find parents, siblings, or cousins living next door. In addition, groups of families often immigrated and settled together in America. You may find clues about the country and area that your ancestors came from. CONT Ancestry.com has an easier way to search for neighbors. When you reach an individual's census record page, you can click the Family and Friends: View Results link to see the individual's neighbors.

In addition, the names of those listed on the population schedule are linked to actual images of the 1920 Federal Census, copied from the National Archives and Records Administration microfilm, T625, 2,076 rolls. (If you do not initially find the name on the page that you are linked to, try a few pages forward or backward, as sometimes different pages had the same page number.) CONT This new index (released 2005) maintains the old head of household index and adds to it a new every name index (including a re-keying of the heads of households). As a result, for many heads of households you will see two names - a primary, and an alternate. The primary name is the newly keyed name. The alternate name is the name as it appeared in the original head of household only index. Alternate names are only displayed when there is a difference in the way the name was keyed between the two indexes. By making both names available to researchers, the likelihood of your being able to find your head of household ancestor has increased. Likewise, researchers who were once able to find their head of household ancestor under a particular spelling will still be able to easily find that ancestor. CONT What Areas are Included: CONT The 1920 census includes all fifty U.S. states and territories, as well as Military and Naval Forces, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and for the first time American Samoa, Guam, and the Panama Canal Zone. CONT Why Census Records are Important: CONT Few, if any, records reveal as many details about individuals and families as do the U.S. federal censuses. The population schedules are successive "snapshots" of Americans that depict where and how they were living at particular periods in the past. Because of this, the census is often the best starting point for genealogical research after home sources have been exhausted. CONT Some Enumerator Instructions: CONT The 1920 Census was begun on 1 January 1920. The actual date of the enumeration appears on the heading of each page of the census schedule, but all responses were to reflect the individual's status as of 1 January, even if the status had changed between 1 January and the day of enumeration. For example, children born between 1 January and the day of enumeration were not to be listed, while individuals alive on 1 January but deceased when the enumerator arrived were to be counted. CONT The following questions were asked by enumerators: CONT Name of street, avenue road, etc. CONT House number or farm CONT Number of dwelling in order of visitation CONT Number of family in order of visitation CONT Name of each person whose place of abode was with the family CONT Relationship of person enumerated to the head of the family CONT Whether home owned or rented; if owned, whether free or mortgaged CONT Sex CONT Color or race CONT Age at last birthday CONT Whether single, married, widowed, or divorced CONT Year of immigration to United States CONT Whether naturalized or alien CONT If naturalized, year of naturalization CONT Whether attended school any time since 1 September 1919 CONT Whether able to read CONT Whether able to write CONT Person's place of birth CONT Mother tongue CONT Father's place of birth CONT Father's mother tongue CONT Mother's place of birth CONT Mother's mother tongue CONT Whether able to speak English CONT Trade, profession, or particular kind of work done CONT Industry, business, or establishment in which at work CONT Whether employer, salary or wage worker, or working on own account CONT Number of farm schedule CONT Due to boundary modifications in Europe resulting from World War I, some individuals were uncertain about how to identify their national origin. Enumerators were instructed to spell out the name of the city, state, province, or region of respondents who declared that they or their parents had been born in Germany, Austria-Hungary, Russia, or Turkey. Interpretation of the birthplace varied from one enumerator to another. Some failed to identify specific birthplaces within those named countries, and others provided an exact birthplace in countries not designated in the instructions. CONT There are no separate Indian population schedules in the 1920 census. Inhabitants of reservations were enumerated in the general population schedules. Enumerators were instructed not to report servicemen in the family enumerations but to treat them as residents of their duty posts. The 1920 census includes schedules for overseas military and naval forces.

CONT The following questions were asked by enumerators: CONT Location: CONT Name of street, avenue road, etc. CONT House number or farm CONT Number of dwelling in order of visitation CONT Number of family in order of visitation CONT Name and Relation: CONT Name of each person whose place of abode was with the family CONT Relationship of person enumerated to the head of the family CONT Personal Description: CONT Sex CONT Color or race CONT Age at last birthday CONT Marital status - whether single, married, widowed, or divorced CONT If married, number of years of present marriage CONT For mothers, number of total children born and number of children living CONT Nativity: CONT Place of birth CONT Father's place of birth CONT Mother's place of birth CONT Citizenship: CONT Year of immigration to United States CONT Whether naturalized or alien CONT Whether able to speak English; or if not, language spoken CONT Occupation: CONT Trade, profession, or particular kind of work done CONT Industry, business, or establishment in which at work CONT Whether employer, employee, or working on own account CONT If an employee, whether out of work on 15 April 1910 and number of weeks out of work during 1909 CONT Education: CONT Whether able to read CONT Whether able to write CONT Whether attended school any time since 1 September 1909 CONT Ownership of Home: CONT Owned or Rented CONT Owned free or mortgaged CONT Farm or house CONT Number of farm schedule (applies only to farm homes) CONT Military: CONT Whether a survivor of the Union or Confederate Army or Navy CONT Disabilities: CONT Whether blind (both eyes) CONT Whether deaf and dumb CONT There were separate Indian population schedules for 1910 in which the tribe and/or band was also recorded.

In addition, the names of those listed on the population schedule are linked to actual images of the 1900 Federal Census, copied from the National Archives and Records Administration microfilm, T623, 1854 rolls. (If you do not initially find the name on the page that you are linked to, try a few pages forward or backward, as sometimes different pages had the same page number.) CONT CONT Enumerators of the 1900 census were instructed to record the names of every person in the household. Enumerators were asked to include the following categories in the census: name; address; relationship to the head of household; color or race; sex; month and year of birth; age at last birthday; marital status; number of years married; the total number of children born of the mother; the number of those children living; places of birth of each individual and the parents of each individual; if the individual was foreign born, the year of immigration and the number of years in the United States; the citizenship status of foreign-born individuals over age twenty-one; occupation; whether the person could read, write, and speak English; whether the home was owned or rented; whether the home was on a farm; and whether the home was mortgaged. The categories allowed Congress to determine persons residing in the United States for collection of taxes and the appropriation of seats in the House of Representatives. CONT CONT Few, if any, records reveal as many details about individuals and families as do the U.S. Federal Censuses. The population schedules are successive "snapshots" of Americans that depict where and how they were living at particular periods in the past. Because of this, the census is often the best starting point for genealogical research after home sources have been exhausted. CONT CONT The United States was the first country to call for a regularly held census. The Constitution required that a census of all "Persons...excluding Indians not taxed" be performed to determine the collection of taxes and the appropriation of seats in the House of Representatives. The first nine censuses from 1790 to 1870 were organized under the United States Federal Court system. Each district was assigned a U.S. marshal who hired other marshals to administer the census. Governors were responsible for enumeration in territories. CONT CONT The official enumeration day of the 1900 census was 1 June 1900. All questions asked were supposed to refer to that date. By 1900, there were a total of forty-five states in the Union, with Utah being the latest addition and Alaska, Arizona, Hawaii, New Mexico, and Oklahoma enumerated as territories.

Note: The 1880 United States Federal Census contains information about 50 million individuals. This census gives us a glimpse into the lives of Americans in 1880, and contains information about a household's occupants including birthplaces, occupations, health conditions, and education. CONT CONT The 1880 census is a valuable tool in part because it is the only U. S. census available for the last two decades of the 1800s. Most of the original 1890 population schedules were destroyed in a fire at the Commerce Department in 1921. Less than one percent of the schedules\emdash records enumerating only 6,160 individuals\emdash survived. CONT CONT Many of these questions, specifically those detailing mental and physical health, can only be found within the original census document. Ancestry.com's image viewer allows you to scan the original document for this valuable data. The age of this data may lead to discoveries about fourth, fifth or even sixth ancestral generations. The depth of this data can offer personal detail lacking in earlier census surveys. The family relationships category can provide information about extended family. If a married daughter has been counted as part of her father's household, her married surname will appear in the census. Questions about health may reveal symptoms of family illnesses that have appeared in later generations. CONT CONT History CONT Unique Feature CONT Search Tips CONT Interesting Facts CONT Source Information CONT CONT History CONT CONT The 1880 census began on 1 June 1880 for the general population of the United States. The enumeration was to be completed within thirty days, or two weeks for communities with populations of 10,000 or fewer. Regardless of when an individual was contacted, all responses were to reflect the status of the individual as of 1 June 1880, the official Census Day. CONT CONT Thirty-eight states (including the recently admitted Colorado) were enumerated in the 1880 census, along with eight territories: Arizona, Dakota, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. Non-organized Alaska was also enumerated, but the "Indian Territory" (now Oklahoma) was not enumerated for non-Indians. CONT CONT Enumerators (census takers) collected the following information for each household: CONT CONT Address (name of the street; house number) CONT Occupant (name of each person and their relationship to head of family) CONT Personal (sex, race, age, marital status, ability to read and write, birthplace, and birthplace of parents) CONT Occupation (trade or profession; number of months unemployed) CONT Health (whether blind, deaf and dumb, crippled, maimed, idiotic, insane, bedridden, or otherwise disabled) CONT CONT Unique Feature CONT CONT The 1880 census was the first to identify an individual's relation to the head of household. In addition, the 1880 census was the first to identify the state, county, and other subdivisions; the name of the street and house number for urban households; illness or disability at the time the census was taken; marital status; number of months unemployed during the year; and the state or country of birth of every individual's father and mother. CONT CONT Search Tips CONT CONT Check for variant spellings of names. In 1880, many people could not read or write and they might not have been sure of the spelling of their own names; rigid spelling of names was uncommon. CONT The 1880 census identifies the state or country of birth for an individual's parents. You can use this location as a starting point to conduct research for additional ancestors. CONT The census may be used to supplement birth or marriage records for the census year or even to partially replace them where vital records are not recorded elsewhere. CONT Because this is the first census to state an individual's relationship to the head of household, the 1880 census may be useful in discovering previously unknown married daughters, mothers-in-law, cousins, and other relatives living with the family. Note: Keep in mind that the wife may not be the mother of any or all of the children listed. CONT CONT Interesting Facts CONT CONT The 1880 census may provide clues to genetic diseases in earlier generations of a family. The census reported whether an individual was blind, deaf, dumb, idiotic, insane, maimed, or crippled. CONT This is the first U. S. census to use "Indian" as a race classification. CONT Indians not taxed are not in regular population schedules. Some may appear in special Indian schedules. CONT CONT Source Information CONT CONT The material used to create this database comes from four different sources. In certain instances records from individual states were used to reconstruct specific counties. CONT CONT U. S. Federal Population Census, 1880. (NARA microfilm publication Series T9).
