Also, the people actually making out the census.....they were not sent like today naturally, were given specific instructions...sometimes you can find out what special instructions were given for each census..but many times they were told maybe one year or one state to only put white or black.....or maybe they could add mulatto, but only on certain occasions were they instructed to place native american and / or Indian.......if one was not black they were white...or if they lived in white neighborhoods they were white and if they lived in black neighborhoods they were black. I have also seen many cases of transcribers ....on the internet ...not finish the microfilm..sometimes Indians were numerated at the bottom of census' and not transcribed......so, if you think someone should be listed and can't find them, go to a library and look at the census yourself... In S.C. Mulatto meant white and Indian blood.......but many census' have been transcribed as black and didn't even use mulatto ( according to the book , S.C. Indians and Indian Traders ) anahee pat ShiningWindStar Holoce Hotvle Kococumpv NATIVE AMERICAN HOME FIRES New members by acceptance only! www.yahoogroups.com/group/NativeAmericanHomeFires --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
