I copied this from another list. It will help us understand how the census were taken. Whit I did not know abut the dates folks, and thought you might not either... This information came from a genealogy mailing list. How many of us have failed to read the instructions for searching the census? I know I've been guilty of just assuming what I see was the truth, and subsequently, may have dismissed some census, especially those in the time period previous to 1850, as not being the correct line, because it didn't fit my preconceived notions of the number of people in that family. Of course, people being people, these instructions may not have been totally followed by every > census taker, but it does help to know about this surprising instruction. Here are some details about the mechanics of taking a census that most of us probably haven't paid much attention to. Beginning with the 1790 (first) federal census and continuing with every census thereafter, each enabling law authorized by Congress specified a census day for gathering the census information from every household in America. From 1790 to 1820, the census day was the first Monday in August. The census day was NOT the day the enumerator arrived at a household, it was the day for which all the statistics of the census were collected. The actual instructions given to all the U.S. Marshals right before the 1820 census explains: "....all the questions refer to the day when the enumeration is to commence; the first Monday in August next. Your assistants will thereby understand that they are to insert in their returns all the persons belonging to the family on the first Monday in August, even those who may be deceased at the time when they take the account; and, on the other hand, that they will not include in it, infants born after that day." Similar instructions have been given for every census since 1790, but with different census days. Census day for each census, 1790-1920, and the time allowed to take the census: 1790 2 August 9 months 1800 4 August 9 months 1810 6 August 10 months 1820 7 August 13 months 1830 1 June 12 months 1840 1 June 18 months 1850 1 June 5 months 1860 1 June 5 months 1870 1 June 5 months 1880 1 June 1 month 1890 1 June 1 month 1900 1 June 1 month 1910 15 April 1 month 1920 1 January 1 month Genealogists should record two dates when copying information from the censuses: the census day and the enumeration date. No matter how many months it took for an enumerator to reach a house, he was supposed to gather the information as if time had stopped on the census day. Every person whose regular abode was in a particular household on the census day was to be enumerated, even if a person were away at the time of the enumeration. Understanding the impact of the census day versus the enumeration date may explain why certain people appear in a census listing, even though you have other evidence to show the person died before the household was enumerated. If a person were alive on the census day, that person was to be included - even if it took some time for the enumerator to get around to the house to take the census. The person could have been dead for several months. Or, you may wonder why that youngest child in a family was not listed in a census. If a child were born after the census day, that child was not to be included - even if the census taker had visited the house and was aware of a playful little toddler crawling around in front of him. For example, on the 1880 Census the information was to be as of 1 June 1880. Births before 1 June would be counted; those coming after 1 June would not be counted. People dying before 1 June would not be enumerated but those dying after 1 June would be enumerated. That means if someone died June 2 but the census was not enumerated until 15 September, the person would be enumerated as though he were living. ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

I was wondering if you have any information as to where Joseph Fulcher b.1820 d.1-7-1910 and Gabriella Booz Fulcher b.1824 d.5-12-1909 might be buried. There would also be an infant Fulcher b.1883 d.1883 1 day old and Ina Fulcher b.1890 d.1890 6 weeks old. They were all living in Marianna when they died. I also was wondering who to ask about who owned property in Marianna between 1883 and 1910. Do you know if there are any public files for this? I'm new to this genealogy stuff and can use any help you might give me. Thank You~ Susan Fulcher Goetchius

Hello Holmes Co researchers, (Jackson, Calhoun, Geneva) (and Marlow cousins) I appologize for this long email but hope it will be helpful to some of you. I entered a "Marlow" search at Rootsweb.com for my Marlow ancestors, I came across the following site of "Samuel Commander descendants" from Barbour County, Ala. since I have other surnames connected to Barbour Co I decided to take a closer look. Boy am I glad I did. This is a fantastic find for any Commander researchers and many many other "local" surnames. I have found mention of quite a few HOLMES, Jackson, Geneva,Calhoun, county (and others within our region), surnames that just might be helpful to some of you. I decided to share the site with you folks "just in case" you want to browse through and see if you might have some connections. It is one long continuous page, there are a LOT of other surname links at the bottom of the page.......I believe it will be well worth your time to check this out. If any of you are the author of this site,(or know who is) please let me know so I can personally thank him/her for posting such an informative site, ALSO...I would love to hear from any of you that do find some helpful info, that way, I will know that I haven't wasted my time today and others time in reading this lengthy mail. ;) Please put HOLMES county in the subject line so it will alert me upon sight. ;) or just hit reply and it will go to the list in case others might be interested in seeing your post. For those of you that the hyperlink won't work, just cut and paste the url. <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~albarbou/samuelcommander.htm">Samuel Commander</A> http://www.rootsweb.com/~albarbou/samuelcommander.htm In addition to being a goldmine for Commander searchers,I will just mention a few of the surnames that mentioned, Holmes, Jackson, Coffee,Dale,Barbour, Calhoun, Geneva county etc. they are: HUDSON, HART, HOWELL, TOOLE, WATFORD, HUGHES, OWENS, DANCY, RENFO, SCOTT, VAUGHAN, CURRY, CULLIFER, MOTLEY, HUGGINS, LANGFORD, PRESCOT, STANLEY, HARRELL, GALLOWAY, BARRETT, HALL, SPEARS, SINGLETARY, SAMMONS, SLEDGE, SAINT, MIMS, PITTMAN, STAFFORD, BOWERS, KIRKLAND, BELL, COVINGTON, MCDUFFIE, YATES, PETTY, WHITE, SHEFFIELD, ANDREWS, JONES, GRANGER, BROWN, DUNN, BRYAN, There are MANY more that I passed (first half of the page) before I thought about sharing with our Holmes Co.neighboring county researchers and Marlow researchers that may or may not be subscribed to any of these lists. NOW...I am going to print this out so I can read it thoroughly at my leisure. By the way, I did find some Marlow info that I didn't have. Don't know exactly how they connect yet, but know that they must. Wesley Marlow/Tildy Commander and children. I have some 1900 census info with some of the children on it, (Pearlie A, Etta, & Amanda) but not a direct tie as of yet. Some dates conflict if any of you have any Marlow info to share I would appreciate it. Again I apologize for this lengthy mail. Have a great day and good luck to you all.

Subj: Genealogy Date: 04/09/2002 4:35:33 PM Eastern Daylight Time From: [email protected] (Valerian Lee) Dear Betty Mae, I have a fair bit of info on Outlaws just none that is pertinant to my family. I also have information on McGown(an)s as far back as 1762. If anyone would like for me to check what I do have please feel free to contact me. Cheryl Ramsey [email protected]

[email protected] - I checked my copy of the cemetery survey done back in the 80's but there does not appear to be a stone for anyone named Tully (or anything like that spelling) ...

Hi all, I was in Marianna the past weekend and finally found where Neal Funeral Home records were. Marianna Memorial chapel had them. They were nice enough to look for anything they had on Ira Tully, If you remember my brother Avery Freeman and I have been looking for him for years. No one seemed to remember him or his business ever being in Jackson Co. Needless to say a lady from the newspaper (Classified Ads Lady) was very helpful in helping us find his obit on Microfisch, and let us use it to hand copy it, they did not have a printer with thier machine. But now the big thing is we could not find the burial spot. the county nor the city has a record of his dying or burial. Does anyone have a record of the cemetary and who is buried there and where. if not seems like the good folks of Jackson County would look into it. He was buried from the first Baptist CHurch and had 3 preachers so even if they put him in Potters Field, which I doubt since the record shows that his funeral was paid for, there should be a record since they knew his name, My question is does anyone know if the First Baptist Church kept records of thier burial services.. Thanks for any information you can give us. Avery Freeman, and Granette76 P.S. someone got in touch with us and said thier departed were buried in Riverside and they cant find a record either.
