Hello, all. I am now (after about 5 years of being a 'newbie') going to attempt to study the census in some depth. My first 'project' will be the job of finding all the DUKE surnames which were listed in the AL census records, from 1790 forward to 1880 or (perhaps) later. Other states' records will also be checked, but the bulk of my 'recent' family records are in AL, and before that, in SC. The most recent are in TX, and I may have most of those, now, thanks to the kind help of several fellow seekers!! What I hope to learn, first, is the proper and more successful way to gather those names from the state-wide records of the US census data now available, and where the best place is, to seek that data. Then, if I can 'get a handle' to that extent, I hope to start with the first census and go forward,seeking all the first names of the heads of all DUKE households which are listed in the 1790 list. I am not at all sure how long that will take!! But it is a starting point!! All suggestions are needed and sought!! Thanks!!

Hi Joe, If you haven't already done so you can go thru you local library to get access to Heritage Quest census. It's free but they don't have 1930 for all states nor do they have the 1880 but you can get that thru the Morman website. When I searched for Duke in all years for Alabama here is what showed up: US Federal Census Total Number of Results: 800 1860 Census Results: 61 1870 Census Results: 105 1900 Census Results: 185 1910 Census Results: 222 1920 Census Results: 227 1930 Census Results: NA Good luck, Linda Cowan Baker Collin Co.
