    1. Re: [WVKANAWH] [Fwd: {not a subscriber} census districts]
    2. Hi Cara. The Districts were areas of the Counties, not the towns or Cities. I've been trying to find maps or descriptions of where the Districts were for all the years since Kanawha Co. was a County to present. The Archives have no maps showing districts and if you get an answer please send it to me. Thanks. Tim Spradling That last email from Artha Griffey on cemetery records made me think of something I've been wondering for a while. Does anyone know if there is a way to find out what districts are in a census? Does the National Archives hold some sort of regional map that shows what the districts are in a town? Or maybe WV Archives might have something like that. Maybe even not a map but just a list of streets that make a boundry, like from Capitol Street to Elizabeth Street and from Piedmont street to Kanawha Boulevard is District ##. Something like that. Is there such an animal? I found a district one time called Magazine District. To my knowledge, there is not part of town known as Magazine in Kanawha Co. How would I go about finding out where a district is? -- Cara Showers Anchorage, Alaska [email protected]
