1870 Population Schedule: FamilySearch (Images 277-424) – Ancestry

1870 Mortality Schedule (1 page): FamilySearch – Ancestry

The 1870 Census was the first census to provide detailed information on the black population, only years after the culmination of the Civil War when slaves were granted freedom.

What’s included:

  • Dwelling-houses, numbered in the order of visitation
  • Families, numbered in the order of visitation
  • The name of each person whose place of abode on 1st day of June, 1870, was in this family
  • Age at last birthday. If under 1 year give months as fractions, thus, 3/12
  • Sex – Males, (M.); Females, (F.)
  • Color – White (W.), Black (B.), Mulatto (M.), Chinese (C.), Indian (I.)
  • Profession, Occupation, or Trade of each person, male or female
  • Value of Real Estate
  • Value of Personal Estate
  • Place of Birth, naming State or Territory of U.S., or the Country, if of foreign birth
  • Father of foreign birth
  • Mother of foreign birth
  • If born within the year, state month (Jan., Feb, &c.)
  • Attended school within the year
  • Cannot read
  • Cannot write
  • Whether deaf and dumb, blind, insane, or idiotic
  • Male Citizens of U.S. of 21 years of age and upwards
  • Male Citizens of U.S. of 21 years of age and upwards, whose right to vote is denied or abridged on other ground thus rebellion or other crime

My Notes

  • Stamped page numbers on every other page – would have been on the right hand page of a 2 page spread
  • I’ve also included the handwritten page numbers because in the days before finding these images on the internet, I would write in my notes “ED 103, sheet 4” to help me find it again on the microfilm reel if I ever needed to. I’m willing to bet that some of you have notes like that as well. (There are no ED numbers in this census)
  • I thought it was interesting to note how long it took the enumerator to finish a district – in many cases around 30 days. Your ancestor may very well have moved during those 30 days meaning they don’t appear or may appear twice.

Where to find it: (ready for this section)

  • FamilySearch –
    • There are 2 ways to look at these images. You can just look at the images as if you were scrolling through the microfilm or you can view them as a break down of Russell County by Enumeration District. If you are looking at the break down images, you need to know which ED to look at in order to access the pages. Because I found the 2nd way to be so confusing, I thought about leaving that way out. But perhaps there’s some reason that I’m not thinking of as to why you’d want them broken down that way.
      • I’m editing this post to move those “confusing” links to the very bottom of the post. Look for them there, if you are interested.
    • FamilySearch does include a search page in case you don’t know which Enumeration District your ancestor was in. This is a link to search the film which includes Rockcastle, Rowan, Russell and Scott Counties. Use the column on the left side of the page to enter your Ancestor’s name. Link
    • If you click on the “Image Index” tab at the bottom of the screen, you can see a transcription for each name on the page. This can come in especially handy when the ink was light!
  • Ancestry – darn, not free…BUT, I’m including it because it makes it easier to attach a file to  your tree, if you have one. Also, compared to the other websites, I love being able to use the “filmstrip” along the bottom of the screen to go page by page or to jump ahead several pages. There is also a search page. Link
    • At the bottom of the screen, next to where it is showing you the page that you’re on, there is an icon of 2 people with 3 lines next to their heads. Click on this to see Ancestry’s transcription of the names on the page.

Looking for free access to census records? It’s my goal to continue adding to the Russell County Resources tab at the top of the screen and this post will add links and information to make sure you are collecting every hint and clue that you can from the 1880 census.

Quick Links (details below)

1880 Population Schedule: FamilySearch (Images 147-304) – Ancestry

1880 Mortality Schedule: FamilySearch – Ancestry

1880 Non-Population Schedules: I have yet to find any online. I will update this page if I find any.

Population Schedule: What’s included:

  • Number of dwelling home, in order of visitation by the enumerator
  • Number of family, in order of visitation by the enumerator
  • Name of each Person whose place of abode, on 1st day of June, 1880, was in this family
  • Color – White, W.; Black, B.; Mulatto, Mu.; Chinese, C.; Indian, I.
  • Sex – Male, M.; Female, F.
  • Age at last birthday prior to June 1, 1880. If under 1 year, give months in fractions, thus: 3/12
  • If born within the Census year, give the month
  • Relationship of each person to the head of this family – whether wife, son, daughter, servant, boarder, or other
  • Single/Married/Widowed/Divorced
  • Married within the census year
  • Profession, occupation, or trade of each person, male or female
  • Number of months the person had been unemployed within the Census year
  • If the person [on the day of the Enumerator’s visit] sick or temporarily disabled, so as to be unable to attend to ordinary business or duties? If so, what is the sickness or disability?
  • Blind/Deaf and Dumb/Idiotic/Insane/Maimed, Crippled, Bedridden, or otherwise disabled
  • Attended school within the Census year/Cannot read/Cannot write

  • Place of Birth of the Father of this person, naming State or Territory of United States, or the Country, if of foreign birth
  • Place of Birth of the Mother of this person, naming State or Territory of United States, or the Country, if of foreign birth

My Notes

  • Pages are labeled with A, B, C, or D with a stamped page number on every other page. Ex: 471A, 471B, 472C, 472D
  • I’ve also included the handwritten page numbers because in the days before finding these images on the internet, I would write in my notes “ED 103, sheet 4” to help me find it again on the microfilm reel if I ever needed to. I’m willing to bet that some of you have notes like that as well.
  • I thought it was interesting to note how long it took the enumerator to finish a district – in many cases around 30 days. Your ancestor may very well have moved during those 30 days meaning they don’t appear or may appear twice.
  • It appears that a person other than the enumerator has written notes on some of the pages. In that case, I have “Handwritten note”. Notes written by the enumerator (usually about the location) is included after the name of the district.
  • Instructions at the top of each sheet
    • Note A – The Census Year begins June 1, 1879, and ends May 31, 1880.
    • Note B – All persons will be included in the Enumeration who were living on the 1st day of June, 1880. No others will. Children BORN SINCE June 1, 1880, will be OMITTED. Members of Families who have DIED SINCE June 1, 1880, will be INCLUDED.
    • Note C – Questions Nos. 13, 14 (each abt occupation), 22 and 23 (cannot read/write) are not to be asked in respect to persons under 10 years of age.

Where to find it:

  • Internet Archive – Yay! It’s free! Plus, you can download a PDF or ePub file! Link
    • Note that the downloaded file contains more than Russell County and it takes a while to download.
    • After downloading, if I would try to jump to a certain page, the program would momentarily show “not responding” and I’m assuming that’s due to the file size. (About 390 MB)
    • You will see page or image numbers at the bottom of the screen. Russell County begins with image 144
    • This copy is not as easy to read as FamilySearch version. It is slightly fuzzy.
  • FamilySearch – Yay! It’s free!
    • This version looks cleaner than the Internet Archive version.
    • There are 2 ways to look at these images. You can just look at the images as if you were scrolling through the microfilm or you can view them as a break down of Russell County by Enumeration District. If you are looking at the break down images, you need to know which ED to look at in order to access the pages. Because I found the 2nd way to be so confusing, I thought about leaving that way out. But perhaps there’s some reason that I’m not thinking of as to why you’d want them broken down that way.
      • I’m editing this post to move those “confusing” links to the very bottom of the post. Look for them there, if you are interested.
    • FamilySearch does include a search page in case you don’t know which Enumeration District your ancestor was in. Link

1880 Census Mortality Schedule

What’s included:

  • Number of the family as given in column number 2 – Schedule 1
    • This is an item often overlooked! You can see which family in the regular census reported the death of the specific person.
  • Name of the person deceased
  • Age at last birthday. If under 1 year, give months in fractions, thus – 3/12. If under 1 month, give days in fractions, thus – 3/30
  • Sex
  • Color
  • Single/Married/Widowed or Divorced
  • Place of birth of this person, naming the State or Territory of the U.S., or the country, if of foreign birth.
  • Where was the Father of this person born? (As in Column 9.)
  • Where was the Mother of this person born? (As in Column 9.)
  • Profession, Occupation or Trade. (Not to be asked in respect to persons under 10 years of age.)
  • The month in which the person died.
  • Disease or cause of death.
  • How long a resident of the county? If less than 1 year, state months in fractions, thus – 3/12.
  • If the disease was not contracted at place of death, state the place.
  • Name of attending Physician
    • FamilySearch Link – Images 246-252
      • There is a back side to each of these pages in which physicians were supposed to confirm the cause of death for the individuals on the front side. Part of the instructions state, “The enumerator should endeavor to see in person every physician residing in or near his enumeration district, who is named in this Schedule as the physician attending at death, and courteously invite him to inspect the entries in regard to the cause of death in his cases, and to verify or restate them as the facts may demand.” Russell County only has physician confirmations on 1 sheet (image 251) but don’t assume that is the last page of the mortality schedule. The back sides are not included on the Ancestry pages.
    • Ancestry Link
      • 6 pages – each a different Enumeration District (98 – 103)
    • Note – the last page for Russell County contains entries from “P.R” instead of a family number. “P.R.” stands for Physician’s Returns.

Plan for Success!

Book_form

I do the majority of my genealogy research at online sites. I am so happy with the amount of information that is now available online, especially through FamilySearch. But sometimes, the information that I’m looking for hasn’t been digitally recorded and I’m lucky that when I look at what’s available for a certain location on FamilySearch, they not only list microfilms, but also books.

FamilySearch

Barren County, Kentucky example: 1 Film and 1 Book

If I see a book that looks valuable, I copy the name of the book and then look to see if my local library has it – and it usually does!

Because I don’t make it to the library as often as I’d like, I keep a list of books I want to make sure to look at when I do get a chance to go. The more planning I do ahead of time, but better success I have when I DO get to the library. I am able to prioritize what I want to look at and really think through exactly what I’m hoping to find in each book. This is the kind of thing I can do when I have a short period of time to PLAN rather than time to research. And I’m taking care of creating citations in the planning stage so that I’m ready to copy and paste a citation directly into my document when my brain is more engaged in thinking through what new information means to my research – when I’m more tempted to say “I’ll take care of that later”.

And how do you think I keep track of all this information? Excel, of course! I have created blank forms for the information.

Book_form

I use my time at home to gather as much information as possible about the book as I can. I collect the full name of the book, author, publisher and the call number. Here’s where I cheat just a little. When looking at the book information on FamilySearch, I use the link to go to WorldCat and look up the book.

WorldCat_link

WorldCat link on every FamilySearch item

I then use the citation creator to go ahead and create a Chicago style citation and I copy and paste that into my form.

Citation

Then, if I add new information to my files as a result of this source, I have the citation ready, I just add the page number at the end of the citation. I doubt that my citation format is the “proper” format, but it works for me and it’s quick. I find that if I try to create my own citation, even from a template, it takes time and I tend to put it off.

I try to fill in as much information as possible before I get to the library, but I also print several of these to take along for the books that I find after I get there. For these “unplanned” books, I delete the text at the top of the form so everything is blank before printing. Here’s another cheat that I use a lot for these unplanned book – instead of writing everything down, I take a picture of the information on my phone and then I write on the sheet that I took a photo and then I add in the information when I get home. I can go back into my library website and use the call number to copy the complete title, find the publisher information, etc.

 

Book info

Often, I have my laptop with me and I’ll just go ahead and fill out the form while I’m there, but if I’m on a roll or feel pressed for time, I use the phone shortcut. Then I use the form to keep notes of what I found or didn’t find.

As soon as I find a book that I want to view when I get to the library, I fill in the form and I use the notes section to remind myself of anything specific I want to look for. When I’m actually looking at the book, I can add information about what the book covers or the condition of the book. Sometimes the layout is poor or it’s hard to read because it’s a copy of a copy. Sometimes there are 2 different book with identical information so I can add a note to save time from looking through both books. Sometimes a book gives me hints on other places to look and I’ll write that in the notes. But I always try to include what I searched for and if I found it or not. If I found something, I add the page I found it on. Anything I might need for my citation later or anything that will remind me if I need to come back to the book later is also included.Filled_form

 

I’ve also included boxes at the top to let me know if the book has an index or not. Did I search the entire thing or did I skim it? Did I just look for a certain person? Did I look for every “Smith” in the book?

I have a similar form for microfilms. I use these forms whether I am at home or at the library. The blank for location is for the name of the library or website where the film was found. The WorldCat hint also works for microfilm citations.

Film_form

Whether I’m scanning at a microfilm machine or downloading from the internet, I have place at the bottom for me to tell when the scans are located. The blue flashdrive? Dropbox? Transferred to external drive? In the “good old days”, I had several flashdrives in my backpack when I’d go to the library and I’d have to make a note about which flashdrive I had used. Things are easier now because so much is online, but I still like to keep track because sometimes, I don’t get back to the files right away.

The Excel file has 2 forms per sheet. But I also use the entire Excel Book to keep track of everything I find – kind of like a research log. To do that,  I copy and paste the forms so that I have all of the Books or Films for a particular county together in one tab. (These forms could also be easily edited to keep track of websites.) If you copy these to a new sheet, be sure to adjust the margin settings including checking the boxes to Center on page.

Margins

For these, I don’t worry about being able to print them out, so I have blank columns between the forms to make them easier to read. The forms are the same size, so I can include books and films in the same tab. Do not include the blank columns between the sheets if you intend to print them.

Multiple_forms

In this instance, my tab would be labeled “Barren County” and whenever I want to do research, I can see exactly what I’ve looked at and what I want to look at next. If my notes are good enough, I can tell exactly which book would be good to go back to if I find another person to research from the same area. I would have a different tab to keep track of resources in other counties.

You can find these forms in the Downloads tab at the top of the screen.

Happy Hunting!
