Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Nv/Unknown/234 Surname: ------------------------- NEVADA STATE CENSUS, 1875 (Update adding Douglas, Landon, Ormsby, and Washoe Counties) This database looks at the state census for the counties of Eureka, Churchill, Esmeralda, Humboldt, Lyon, Douglas, Landon, Ormsby, and Washoe. For each entry, the person's name, age, sex, occupation, status as head of household, and place of residence are listed. Where the census noted a marriage within the year or parents of foreign birth, these facts are also mentioned. The head of household in many instances is not easily determined. Where this is the case, a member of the household has been listed as the "head," even though contemporaries may not have recognized him or her as such. This allows the researcher to see all of the residents of the household by searching on the name listed as head. This database was compiled from a transcription made in 1876 from the original enumerator's records. Any errors in the original source have been recorded intact, and the interpretation has been left to the researcher. Many minorities were not named in the original census. More than half of the just over 10,500 entries in this database are immigrants to the United States. Over 40 foreign countries and more than 40 other American states are listed as places of birth for Nevada residents of these five counties. Source Information: Barghouti, Kim, comp.
