SUMMARY:WMGS January Monthly Meeting: Who Needed It Anyway? Getting Around the Missing 1890 Census
DESCRIPTION:The 1890 census was uniquely detailed\, including household relationships\, occupations\, literacy\, housing conditions\, and special schedules for Union Civil War\nveterans and widows. Nearly the entire 1890 census was destroyed in a 1921 fire and subsequent water damage at the Commerce Department. Only fragments covering  about 6\,000 individuals survived out of over 62 million enumerated. \nAt our January monthly meeting\, genealogist Sara Cochran will present “Who Needed It Anyway? Getting Around the Missing 1890 Census” and tell us some of the resources that may be available to address this gap. \nAs Sara describes her presentation\, “The loss of the 1890 Federal census is a source of great frustration for American genealogists\, but all hope is not lost! Learn strategies and gather tips for success in locating your family in other records between the 1880 and 1900 Federal censuses.” \nSara will present a follow-up presentation to explore even more resources and complete a case study at our April 1 monthly meeting.
