    Rebecca Pittman of Chicago asks for leads on researching ancestors who served as U.S. census enumerators.

       

    “Do you have any recommendations for locating records about his role as a Census Enumerator? I’m sure there would’ve been an application form, payroll information, etc. for Census Enumerators. I searched Worldcat for any books on the subject and the National Archives for records and have not had any luck.”

     

    Bill Maury, Chief of History at the U.S. Census Bureau says that  

    All of the records that are available are at the National Archives in Record Group 29…the records are partial at best but some are both extensive and informative.

    GEM: Interview with Irene Johnson

     

    Visit the Family History Library online

     

    Irene’s Tip:  Do your homework before you visit the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. 

     

    Do Your Homework Before You Come:

    - Scour the online catalog

    - Decide what you need

    - Ask for help when you visit

     

    Lisa’s Tip – print out the items you want from the catalogue and prioritize them.  Determine which items are available only in Salt Lake City.

     

    Watch Irene in the Ancestors series

     

    The Library is divided up into sections:

    B2 - The British Collection

    B1 - The International Floor – “the only place where you will find all the Swedish records under one roof!”  (they are scattered amongst the various archives across Sweden) 

     

    The Vault – There are many films that are not located in the library but rather in the granite vault.   Request ahead of time, or as soon as you arrive.
