While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
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.
