thank you very much. I now recall that this info had been given some time before, but I sure couldn't find it when I needed it. Maybe we could encourage Charles to include it somewhere on the website for others to use when reading the census found there. Again, thanks.

if you look at the read file on each census year it will tell you the districts and for example 1850 did not show districts but in 1860 its shows 20 districts http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/tn/smith/census/1860/0000read.htm there are 21 in 1870 http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/tn/smith/census/1870/0000read.htm so to put the districts online we would need to specify which year so thats why its just a data file on my computer <g> its a handy tool but not exactly accurate.... I have searched high and low for accurate district maps for each census year and so far i haven't found any Charlie Gwendolyn Melton wrote: > thank you very much.

Thanks for trying anyway, Charlie. I can see how it would be a difficult thing to list them on the website. I was trying to go from the old census map you have on the site, and just wanted to make sure things hadn't changed too much. I'll keep looking for my folks--found a few--the rest are just temporarily hiding from me.
