    3. The census page should show either the name of a town or a "Township and Range" designation. For example- Enumeration Dist 167, page one (microfilm T623-1849- page 58) lists the enumerated location for that page as "Township 1 South- Range 3 West". Your local library should have (or be able to get) an Oklahoma map showing where this is located. My map here in my office is of an early, early Indian Territory (few names of towns), but if you will pinpoint where the eastern county line of Montague County Texas touches the Red River, then go directly north about 36 miles, you should be close to the location for this particular page. As the census enumerators went on with their listings, it is evident that they got rather sloppy! The next page lists the location as "Town 1 S. R. 3. W" (which was meaning the same location as the one above), so use your imagination when reading these. Best of luck Jerri Chasteen ~~~~~~~~~ Kathey Kelley Hunt wrote: > I am seeking info on how I can determine WHERE in the IT a person was if > they were enumerated on the 1900 Census in the Chichasaw Nation.
