Re: Lists of boarders Use the census records starting in 1850. Boarding houses are easy to spot on the microfilmed page, because you will see long lists of unrelated individuals at a single address. On each line to the right of the individual's name, you will see the occupation. Often, line after line, you will find: "Works in cotton mill," or "Works in scythe factory," or "Works in woolen mill," likely signs that you have found a boarding house.
