Any age on Mary? There are two in Somerville in 1920 but without a Sarah or Sally. No record of a sally or Sarah in that age category. ----- Original Message ----- From: "fran" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, November 18, 2003 5:14 PM Subject: [MA-CENSUS-LOOKUP] Re: 1920 Middlesex county > Hi, > I posted a request for 1910, but maybe I should have been checking 1920 > for > Sarah Power(s) and/or Mary Power(s) > in Somerville, Ma. looking for parents names, pl of birth, and ANYTHING > else you can find! my guess is Sarah (Sally) may have only been about 10 or > 11 yr. old in 1920/ > Fran > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Sunday, November 16, 2003 11:01 PM > Subject: MA-CENSUS-LOOKUP-D Digest V03 #367 > > > > > > ==== MA-CENSUS-LOOKUP Mailing List ==== > In the U.S., a census has been taken every 10 years from 1790 through 2000. All censuses taken after 1930 are still confidential and the information they contain is not open to the public. The census from 1790 through 1840 only named the head of the household and the numbers of people in categories - 3 males over 16, 2 males under 16, etc. The census from 1850 through 1930 lists each member of the household and usually gives the relationship to the head of the house. It also gives age (later years give birth month and year) and place of birth (usually just the state or foreign country). The 1890 census was almost totally destroyed by fire so there is a 20 year gap between 1880 and 1900. > CENSUS LOOKUPS HOME PAGE http://www.rootsweb.com/~censlook/ > > ============================== > To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: > http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 >
