Regan Census Links


Contents

Purpose

A set of census links - not citations - shared by the O'Regan/Regan family.

  • Contains a list of family members who may have links to Irish(?), Canadian (New Brunswick), US Federal, and US State and Territory Censuses
  • As of 11 Jan 2023, most links are to Family Search records.
  • There are also some links to records held in North Dakota State university (NDSU) libraries. Reentry of search terms there may be required.
  • Login to Family Search is required. If you haven't already been there.
  • Other record sets may be used, but should allow the current syntax. Pay sites should be avoided if possible.
  • These tables document censuses in which the O'Regan or Regan family and their families appeared.
  • The census may also be from Ireland, Canada or the United States.

Much of the information in this profile is subject to copyright by others. It has been documented here, not for commercial purposes, but in the spirit of fair use for informing and educating the descendents of those documented. Family Search was used to provide access to the images it holds.

Usage

This free-space profile may be accessed with syntax like [1]

Table Notes

These notes apply to all the tables below with some exceptions for the North Dakota Territories Census. As of mid-April, 2024, the tables retrieved from Family Search were under development. Some abreviations have been adapted to these tables:

  • ED is shorthand for Enumeration District;
  • HH is shorthand for Head of Household;

'M'ale and 'F'emale abbreviations are used as indicators of gender. LGBQT+ people may have existed in the periods covered by the tables below but they did not advertise it.

The organization of the majority of the tables follows these conventions:

The Column Title row will occur only at the top of a table, between the ED row and the HH row.
Otherwise, the Enumeration District row will occur as needed -- anywhere the ED for the next HH changes. The first row following an Enumeration District row will always be a Household Head (HH) row. The HH row marks the start of a different household on a census sheet. It may be in the same Enumeration District as the preceding household or not. The HH row in turn, identifies the row number of the census sheet entry and the household number there. The HH row in these tables may or may not be populated. When populated the household head will have been a family member or spouse. When not populated the household head will have been providing living space to a family member, e.g., a boarder, hotel resident, etc. These rows are all to aid those interested in reviewing the actual census images.
The last convention was to order family members by age whether they are in the same enumeration district or not. An exception is the 1940 census that shows Bruce Regan as the household head because his mother was living with him but was not the HH.
In the most of the census tables -- but not the 1885 North Dakota Territories Census -- there are 3 important background colors:
     1)  Enumeration District (ED)  heading rows;
     2) Column Title  heading rows.
     3)  Head of Household (HH)  heading rows.
The 1870 census is a good example. The table starts with the Enumeration District full table row identifying where the family lived, followed by the row of Column headings. Further down the table is a Household heading prior to the entry for Elizabeth O'Regan because she is shown living with neighbors on the image of the original census form at Family Search[2]


Because the 1885 Dakota Territorial census has a different source and radically different access method it does not fit the presentation view described above for the rest of the censuses and has been presented last. similarly, when the minnesota historical society is added as a source for Minnesota Census data, it's presentation may differ.

From comparing the names in the 1875 Minnesota Census with the 1880 Federal Census, it might be inferred that the family switched from O'Regan to Regan some time between 1875 and 1880.
For this census, Mary B Whisnand, had no records to be found at Family Search.

As they grew older some of Dennis O'Regan 's children moved away. Verifying this can be more difficult because by this time most of the family had moved to North Dakota and 1890 census records for North Dakota were lost.[3] As a result, only those family or future family members who lived outside North Dakota appear in the 1890 table.
It's known, however, that in 1885, Lawrence E. Regan was living in North Dakota (See the L. E. Regan above). with his wife, Mary Belle Whisnand and one month old daughter Sarah.
It's also known that

Mary O'Regan married Arthur Tucker in 1882 [4] and remained in Winona, Winona, Minnesota; and
Agatha O'Regan joined the School Sisters of Notre Dame in Winona, Minnesota and became Sister M. Brithwald in 1880 at the age of 16. This was about the same time the rest of her family moved to North Dakota.

From the original census image it can be seen that the Regan household and family, though they have their own household and famiily numbers, appear to have the same surname as the preceding family. Perhaps this was an indication they were tenants on property that belonged to the preceding Head of Household. zthis may have indicated they their own household. There are columns to the right of the form that should explain this, but the writing is illegible.
This is the first census with children of Lawrence Edward (O'Regan) Regan and Hattie Georgiana (Morehouse) Regan

Lawrence Edward (O'Regan) Regan, spouse of Hattie Georgiana (Morehouse) Regan died in 1912. This is the first census that includes their last child, Willis. He was born in Wisconsin shortly before his father died.
This is also the first census with the only child of James Wenzel Yanda and Hattie Georgiana (Morehouse) Regan.
Oral Thierfelder, Robert's future wife. also appears in this census as a 2 month old child living with her parents.
Much like James Kenyon Morehouse in an earlier census, Eunice was double-counted in the 1920 Federal Census. Once on January 8 in Rochester and once again on January 10 in Red Wing. A minor difference was her reported age, 19 in Rochester, 18 in Red Wing. Family likely reported her age in Red Wing. Her landlord likely reported it in Rochester -- and got it wrong! The January 8 enumeration was picked on a guess that was "Where she usually slept."[6] The census instructions say that residents should be counted based on where they were -- in this case, on January 1 -- but obviously that was a goal to avoid double-counting.
Finally, John Donald Regan appears for the first time as Donald Regan, the name he would use for the rest of his life.

By this time, many of Hattie's children had left home to seek their fame and fortune:

  1. ) Eunice had married and was living in Miles City, Montana with her husband and child;
  2. ) Lawrence Edward was working as a machinist in Chicago, Illinois
    (Note: Since he lived in a hotel, he had his own 'household');
  3. ) J. Donald was working in a dairy as an Ice Cream Maker, living with his spouse in Ripon, Wisconsin;
  4. ) Robert William Regan was working as a retail drug salesman, living as a boarder in Milwaukee, Wisconsin;
  5. ) Beryl Alice Regan had left home for nursing school and was living in a home for nursing students in Chicago, Illinois; and
  6. ) Bruce (Yanda) Regan ] was a roomer with the Lilithun family and 2 other female roomers in Red Wing.
  7. ) Only Gerald Leroy and Willis James remained at home with their mother .

It is interesting to note that while Hattie is listed as married, there is no note of William Henry Pace here.

In the United States, at least, Census records are not released to the public until at least 72 years after the census was taken.[7] The US 1950 census records were released in 2022[8] Because this census was only released in 2022 Family Search's volunteers have had little time to make many records available.

An 1885 Dakota Territory Census tool, is provided by North Dakota State University (NDSU). Their NDSU Library is referenced in this section rather than the Family Search links used by other Census sections. The NDSU'Library tool requires entry of search parameters (unless one already has a link as used below in the Name result.) The tool link for each person then brings up the NDSU Library's search page where the parameters are entered. The " and the"+" characters in parameters are required. As a result, this Census section cannot match the format of other Census sections.
