In addition, the names of those listed on the population schedule are linked to actual images of the 1910 Federal Census, copied from the National Archives and Records Administration microfilm, T624, 1,784 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 June 2006) 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 1910 census includes all fifty U.S. states and Washington D.C., as well as Military and Naval Forces, and Puerto Rico. 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 1910 Census was begun on 15 April 1910. 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 15 April, even if the status had changed between 15 April and the day of enumeration. For example, children born between 15 April and the day of enumeration were not to be listed, while individuals alive on 15 April but deceased when the enumerator arrived were to be counted. 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. CONT Taken from Chapter 5: Research in Census Records, The Source: A Guidebook of American Genealogy by Loretto Dennis Szucs; edited by Loretto Dennis Szucs and Sandra Hargreaves Luebking (Salt Lake City, UT: Ancestry Incorporated, 1997).

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.
