| TIP OF THE WEEK – LOOK FOR UNINDEXED RECORDS IN THAT COLLECTION Off-year censuses produced by many U.S. states sometimes include more than just population schedules. Much of this is not currently electronically indexed and has to be searched manually. For example, the Kansas State Census from 1865–1905 included an agriculture schedule in the back of each census book. This Kansas collection for example often included listings for local paupers, disabled citizens, newspapers and churches. Very little of this is currently indexed. Always check record collections for unindexed gems that may be hiding within in them.Join SGS Today* to renew your membership: log in on the Members Home page and click the green renew membership button. | |
