Hi Everyone, For those of you who already knew about this ftp site, just skip over this message. The University of Minnesota conducted a study for sociology purposes and published a 1% sampling of the 1880 census. It's kind of tricky getting at the data, but here are the Greens who they used for their study. I won't post any more names because there are simply too many. Just go to the link. There are many more listed. Here's how to extract the data if you see a name or state that looks promising: 1. Go to this link (index): ftp://ftp.genealogy.org/pub/1880/index/ 2. Click on G 3. Click on "280" link. Scroll down part way when the page loads. 4. Write down the state and the three sets of corresponding numbers. I'm going to use "Allen Green for an example." GREEN ALLEN SC/0070/0027/090676 5. Hit the back button on your browser. 6. Go to the top of the page and click on "Up to higher level directory". 7. Go to the top of the index page and click on "Up to higher level directory" again. 8. You should be on the state code page. Click on the state. As per example, I'm going to click on SC. 9. That will take you to the four digit numbers page. Find the four digit number that corresponds to the four digit number just to the right of the state code of the number you wrote down. As per example, we want "0070". 10. Click on the four digit number that matches the middle number of what you wrote down. As per example, we will click on "0027". 11. Now click on the six digit number that matches the rightmost number that you wrote down. As per example, we will click on "090676". 12. And this is how the actual data from the 1880 census will appear: ANDERSON, SC Enum. Dist. 27 Reel 1219 Page 185 Date: 06/14 -- GREEN, LYMUS B M 37 Head M South Carolina South Carolina South Carolina GREEN, BINA B F 29 Wife M South Carolina South Carolina South Carolina GREEN, WILLIE B M 12 Child S South Carolina South Carolina South Carolina GREEN, JANE B F 14 Child S South Carolina South Carolina South Carolina GREEN, HATTIE B F 10 Child S South Carolina South Carolina South Carolina GREEN, ALLEN B M 3 Child S South Carolina South Carolina South Carolina GILLARD, HESTER B F 25 Res. employee S South Carolina South Carolina Now to get back to the next Green listing. 1. Hit the back button on your browser. 2. Hit "Up to higher level directory" on THREE successive pages until you get back to the state code page. 3. Go down to the BOTTOM of the state code page. That will bring up the links for the index where the letters are. Click on "index". 4. Click on "G" and start with the next Green you are interested in (code 280 OR 281). REMEMBER that when you've looked at all the Greens on the "280" entry, you will have to back up and look at "281". There are no more Greens listed after the "281" page. I hope this proves useful to someone. These ftp sites are a pain and the first time I came here I was lost, but I messed around with it until I figured out what to do. I hope I didn't hopelessly confuse any of you. I could possibly tell you a little more but it would be just too confusing and I'm not that great at it myself! Good luck! Remember that this is approximately only 1% of all the Green(e)s that were on the 1880 census, so there are lots more out there - somewhere! Alice The beginning of the actual names looks like this and there are lots, lots more. GREEN ? ALBERT G IL/1350/0154/018287 GREEN ? BEN F MO/0270/0029/050081 GREEN ?
