FootNote
The new kid on the block, FootNote is known for digitizing historical
documents... many of which are genealogical gems. With naturalizations,
city directories, war records, newspapers, town records, etc... this new
kid is quickly being recognized as an alternative to Ancestry.
Starting in 1790, the United States government took a census
every 10 years. Census information exists for the 1900, 1910, 1920, and 1930
census for Alaska. Unfortunately, earlier census enumerations (1880-1890) did not
survive. Even though Alaska was purchased in 1867, there was no 1870 census
taken.
Ronald Vern Jackson wrote a book in 1976 (currently out
of print) that went into depth about the Alaska State census 1870-1907. The
information from this book which will prove invaluable to Alaskan
researchers, can be found online at Ancestry. I have not found any of this
information online for free yet.
