William I would be able to search for your great-grandfather in the 1880 census for a specified state, but note that I can only do this if he had children age 10 and under at the time. Only heads of household who meet that requirement are included in the index. If you are not interested in a paid service, you may want to delete this message now. I can search the Soundex (the index to the Census) for your ancestors in the 1880, 1900, 1910 or 1920 Federal Census for *ANY* state requested. (Note that the 1910 Soundex is only available for the following 21 states: AL, AR, CA, FL, GA, IL, KS, KY, LA, MI, MS, MO, NC, OH, OK, PA, SC, TN, TX, VA, and WV. The 1880 Soundex only includes households with children age 10 and under, and no records are available for 1890.) If the search is successful, you will receive a form which includes all of the information found in the Soundex. In addition to the family's place of residence, the following information will be listed for each family member: name, age, month and year of birth (1900 Soundex only), birthplace (state or country), relationship to head of household, and citizenship. (Other details included in the complete Census record, such as occupations, whether owned or rented, literacy, etc., are not included.) Simply provide the following information (numbered as below, please) for each search: 1. Census year (1880, 1900, 1910 or 1920). 2. State (include county and/or town, if known). You must specify the state in which to search, as there is a separate Soundex for each state. 3. Soundex code for surname (see below). 4. Name of head of household (include state or country of birth and date of birth, if known). 5. Name of spouse (include state or country of birth, and date of birth, if known). 6. Names of children or other family members expected in the household (include state or country of birth and dates of birth for each, if known). Please provide full names, if possible, as individuals are often listed by initials or middle names. The birth information is important too, as it will help to identify the correct family. If you do not know the Soundex code for the surname, use the conversion program at this site: http://events.genealogy.org/soundex.html The fees for searches are as follows: 1: $2.50; 2 to 3: $5.00; 4 to 6: $10.00; 7 or more: please inquire for pricing. (Note: each head of household in each Census year counts as one search.) Mail your order and payment (check or money order made payable to Kerry O'Brien), to: K. O'Brien 12728 W. 108th St. Overland Park, KS 66210-1106 Be sure to list all 6 items above for each search requested. Please include a self-addressed, stamped envelope with your order. You will receive the results within two or three weeks.
