Millers are not too numerous on my tree at this time, because I have not traced that line of the family. I have Allen Miller and his wife Helen Elizabeth Cowhey Miller (born about 1910) and their children. I'm not sure where Allen's family was from - I have done more research on the Cowhey line. Do you think you might have a connection? Lisa S. http://www.small-leavedshamrock.blogspot.com 3.

Richard: My computer won't let me cut and paste URLs so I hand copied it & checked it numerous times but it still could have been incorrect. You can also access it through USGenWeb for Schuylkill County - Not sure under which tab you need to click. Or just go to the Rootsweb main page and search under "All Databases". Since I replied to the original post several others have replied also. You might want to check those posts and see if you can access it through the URL supplied in one of those. Sheila K. (p.s.

The 1890 Federal Census was destroyed...there are a few States available but Pennsylvania is not one of them. There is an 1890 Schuylkill County Directory the 'may' contain your ancestor. The directory is simply a directory without street addresses. Females are listed but their surnames, ages, occupations are not. Shirley

I've taken your suggestion and added a "surnames" list on the sidebar of my Schuylkill County family history blog for those of you that want to check quickly to see if you may have a connection. Check http://www.small-leavedshamrock.blogspot.com <http://www.small-leavedshamrock.blogspot.com/> to see it. Also - please send any comments or suggestions or additions that you might have. Lisa S.

Hello Roger. Thank you for your swift reply. I take it from your tatement - "somehow saved" - means that something awful befell the rest of the census. What was it, fire or flood?

Dorothy, 1890 was the first year in which there was not a requirement that the census be made in triplicate. I forget quite why. A few states and some counties opted to maintain a copy for their own records. The balance of the census forms were sent to Washington DC, and a fire in the Archives destroyed the bulk of the records. Some scant copies were saved and, as I said, some very diligent clerks in local areas kept copies, but the vast majority of the records do not exist. There is movement to create a census alternative using cited information from contributors and municipal directories and telephone books, but I haven't heard much lately about its progress. ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

Hello List. I am a new subscriber to your List, a family historian based in the UK. Was there a census taken for Schuylkill County in 1890?

Dorothy H. [UK] > Hi Dorothy, The 1890 US Federal Population Census was destroyed by fire. BUT, we Schuylkill County, PA researchers are lucky enough to have a County Directory based on the information from the 1890 census taken in the County. Quite a bit of this directory can be found online at the Schuylkill County GenWeb site in the Archive section. http://www.rootsweb.com/~paschuyl/schuylki.htm If the person you are looking for doesn't show up in any of the transcriptions that are there; quite a number of the list members have purchased reprints of this directory from the Historical Society of Schuylkill County and I am sure that at least one or more of us might be able to assist you in at least a quick check. Just let us know if you can't find the person. HTH Elizabeth ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

Hi Dorothy, To elaborate on the other responses you received, most of the 1890 population schedules were destroyed or badly damaged by a fire in the Commerce Department in 1921. There are a few surviving fragments from Alabama, District of Columbia, Georgia, Illinois, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, South Dakota, and Texas. There are some surviving non-population schedules including the Veterans schedule enumerating Union Civil War veterans and widows of Union Civil War veterans which may be of use if your relatives were Union veterans. Not as much information as the population schedules, but at least a name, a location, and info on military service that could lead to pension and service records. Those schedules are available online at Ancestry.com. BUT those of us with Schuylkill County ancestry are luckier than most. A Directory of the eleventh census of the population of Schuylkill County : giving the names and ages of males and females, published by cities, boroughs, wards, townships, precincts or towns, in connection with a business directory of the same was published in Lebanon, Pa. by E.E. Schartel in 1891. The directory did not publish all of the information that the census collected, but it does provide name, age, and occupation of the head of household and the males in the household. Names only are provided for the females. A digitized version of the directory is available at Ancestry.com in their Family and Local Histories collection. AND some wonderful Schuylkill County GenWeb volunteers have transcribed large portions of the directory and made them available on line free at the Schuylkill County USGenWeb site http:// www.rootsweb.com/~paschuyl/schuylki.htm. It looks as though North Cass Township and part of South Cass Township are online but not Minersville.
