Hi JoAnn, The U.S. Census jumped out at me because that year was lost in a fire - is it a typo or where did you find it?

Barbara, It was the US 1890 census that was lost. The official in charge of the fire cleanup just trashed it. It didn't burn but got soaked. The US 1900 census is alive & digitized. Let me know if you need lookups.
