I do not like to respond to such requests. However, I will post my answer to Helen to the list. I didn't want to send it to everyone, because I do not have time to do lookups from the cd referenced at this point in time. I believe the mortality schedules were done every 10 years like the census 1840, 1850, etc. and included people who died within that census year. Broderbund/FTM has a cd #164 which includes some states and regions from 1850 to 1880. The cd says "mortality records created by the Bureau of the census during census years document the deaths of individuals who had been recorded in the previous census." The cd has been of little help to me in my research since it was not comprehensive for locations in the U.S. I am not sure if these schedules are on Ancestry. If they are, Helen might want to ask for a lookup. As I remember for the cd, 1850 had better coverage than 1880.
