The database includes more than 6,500 names, mostly | heads of household. | | Source Information: Ancestry.com. "Bethlehem, Pennsylvania Directory, | 1890." [database online] Provo, UT: Ancestry.com, 2000. Original | data: "Bethlehem, PA, 1890." Bethlehem, PA: Jos. A. Weaver, 1890. | | To search this database, go to: | http://www.ancestry.com/search/rectype/inddbs/5240.htm | | This database is also included in the 1890 Census Reconstruction | Project and can be searched through its main page at: | http://www.ancestry.com/search/rectype/census/1890sub/main.htm | ____________________________________________________________________ | | MACDONALD DISTRICT, MANITOBA CENSUS, 1901: | PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE SUBDISTRICT | | Portage la Prairie was incorporated in 1880 with a population of 800. | Today, it is the commercial and industrial hub of the Heartland | region and a thriving regional center. This database contains more | than 5,100 entries of residents in the census subdistrict of Portage | la Prairie (K) in the census district of Macdonald (#8) in 1901. It | lists each person's full name, relationship to the head of the | household, full date of birth, and birthplace, as well as year of | immigration to Canada (if not Canadian by birth).

The area was named | Virginia in honor of the queen. This database consists of marriage | records from many Virginia counties; this update to the database adds | Page, Pittsylvania, Raleigh, Shenandoah, Taylor, Wayne, Wetzel, and | Wirt counties to records from Albemarle, Charlottesville, Essex | (including Old Rappahannock), Loudoun, Marshall, Patrick, Pulaski, | Richmond, and Stafford. Most of these records are quite complete | because a state law passed in 1853 required that county and | independent city clerks issue marriage licenses and keep marriage | registers. Before a license was issued, the parties to be married had | to offer the following information: full names, ages, places of birth | and residence, proposed marriage date and place, marital status | (widowed or single), parents' names, groom's occupation, and | minister's name. After the marriage ceremony, the minister returned | the information to the clerk, who recorded it in a marriage register. | | Source Information: Dodd, Jordan, Liahona Research, comp.
