>From: carol battin <pagenie@suddenlink.net> >Subject: Re: [ALL] 1910 Census Question >Thanks for the offer of help. This is the man I am researching: >Name: Hugh Steuart >[Hugh Stewart] Age in 1910: 53 Estimated Birth Year: 1857 Birthplace: Pennsylvania Relation to Head of House: Brother Father's Birth Place: Ireland Mother's Birth Place: Ireland Home in 1910: Pittsburgh Ward 25, Allegheny, Pennsylvania Hi Carol, Here is the information I see on this 1910 census entry: 1910: City of Pittsburgh [Part of tract Y8) Lines 14-16 are a family of 3 living at #5 Terrace Ave, City of Pittsburgh, PA This dwelling was the 305th enumerated and the family the 331st enumerated by this census taker. 14: Hastings, Eliza J; Head of Household: F; W; 55; Widow; PA/IRE-Irish/IRE-Irish; English-speaking; Nurse/Private family; works on her own; Owns Home free of mortgage. 15: Stewart [ancestry incorrectly indexed as Steuart], Hugh; brother; M; W; 53; Single; PA/IRE-Irish/IRE-Irish; English-speaking; Tolltaker/Bridge; employee. 16: Stewart, Mary; sister; F; W; [45? 46?]; Single; PA/IRE-Irish/IRE-Irish; English-speaking; Saleslady/Department; employee. That is the end of information on these three persons, though I did not transcribe ALL of the information. Your query is regarding the two sets of numbers and letters shown in the last three columns. These are internal notations from the census taker, and in the case of these Stewarts: 14: 3-8 7-X 15: 3-7 X-1 16: 6-2 3-X I can¹t tell you what the # and letters stand for, but they do not include any further information for these people. Especially: they do not give any information relating to the column headings. Some enumerators utilized those three columns for the work because the columns were not often used: ³Farm #² in the City of Pittsburgh? Blind (in BOTH eyes)? A veteran of the Civil War? And specifically re: your Civil War column: from Measuring America: The decennial Censuses from 1790 to 2000, found online at <http://www.census.gov/prod/www/abs/ma.html> The enumerators¹ instructions state: ³SURVIVORS OF THE CIVIL WAR 192. Column 30. Whether a survivor of the Union or Confederate Army or Navy.This question should be asked as to all males over 50 years of age who were born in the United States and all foreign born males who immigrated to this country before 1865. Write UA¹¹ if a survivor of the Union Army; UN¹¹ if a survivor of the Union Navy; CA¹¹ if a survivor of the Confederate Army; and CN¹¹ if a survivor of the Confederate Navy. For all other persons leave the column blank.² Best wishes, Cari Thomas
