Disaster and bureaucratic mismanagement result in the destruction of an irreplaceable record. Today the 1890 census is almost completely lost to history. (short video narrative- appx 12 minutes)
(Excerpt) Read more at youtu.be ...
IIRC, We had an 1892 census here in NY
Because of these records being lost I am unable to trace my husbands gynecology back.
I bet he doesn’t have a gynecological record, and that’s OK....
Lol! Dang spell check.
Interesting as usual.
I wonder who this fellow is that produces these vignettes? He has kept his actual identity and resource base, which must be considerable, to himself very well in a day when so much is easy to find out. I guess it really does not matter though since he does a great job and is very productive. Quite remarkable.
There was a NY census in 1892. It helped me out a couple of times - https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/1529100
In the words of Larry the Cable Guy: “I don’t care who you are, that’s funny!”
Here is the 1790 census for Mifflin County PA that includes some of my ancestors.
I had the same problem with my great grandmother... that 1890 census would have been invaluable to figure out what happened to her and her siblings after her mother died.
I eventually did, but that document would have made it SO much easier.
You have a good memory for being at least 127 years old.
Ya gotta admit, that is a really good spell-check fail!
If your ‘husband’ has a gynecologist, you are probably posting on the wrong site.
Here in NY, we had a census every 5 years for the years 1855, 1865, 1875...forgot what else. Very helpful because contained more information than the Federal census.
I prefer the Archie Bunker version: groinicologist. (that term is OK, no matter what you identify as).
History guy has some really interesting tidbits of history.
I agree. It really is one of the better channels on YouTube.
Oh, dear. How will explain this to the dog?
Last ny census in 1925. All my early US folks from ny.
