If so,are these done every census year?> Margaret, thanks for letting us know our direct response would have been blocked. I had kept Helen's e-mail 'open' to answer later so might as well do it now. I agree with you! Please people, use your noggin'! If you want replies, take your blocker off! If you do a lot of genealogy you might as well take a few chances ... I never request to be added to anyone's list; you block me - you don't get an answer. the answers I hope ... <> Taken at the same time as the census, this was a separate *schedule* and they are on separate rolls. <> No, not every census year. Only for 1850 through 1900 plus 1885. But not for every state! A good chart can be found in Hinckley's book referenced below, pgs 94-95. If you have a library nearby with a genealogy collection, hopefully they will also have an online catalog that you can access for information. << included people who died within that census year.>> No, those who lived with the family the previous year and died the previous year. i.e., 1860 census; the mortality gives those who died in 1859. To all: May I once again give several books that answer almost all your census questions. Hopefully you have a library with them. If you want to get the most out of the census & related schedules, these are great reference books for your own library - And of course, good use of the Internet will give you the answers to most questions .....
