The mortality schedule is just a list of people who had died in the year prior to the census being taken. It gives a sort of "death record" telling the person's name, age, cause of death and location of death. I'm not sure it gives the exact date of death, I think it might only give the month they died in. Of course this is really useful on the early census because Indiana didn't keep death records until 1882. > Date: Fri, 16 Jun 2006 18:05:06 -0400 > From: gilburns@aol.com > To: INTIPPEC-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [INTIPPEC] Re: Census Mortality info > > can someone give a defn of a mortality schedule? > > for example, there is an 1850 mortality schedule on > the tippecanoe genweb site. > > exactly what is this schedule? > > thank you __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
