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 records exist for the territory and state of Arizona
from 1860-1930. Arizona territory was separated from the New Mexico territory
in 1863. As a result, those living south of the Gila River in 1860 were
enumerated in New Mexico Territory.
It is often encouraged to
substitute the great registers of Arizona for
early research prior to 1910 as they provide
an often yearly picture of the inhabitants of
Arizona.
There were two distinct territorial census taken of Arizona at
the bequest of Congress. The first occurred in 1864, the second in 1866. The
genealogy community is fortunate to have available online the 1864 Arizona
Territory census. While only the First Judicial District has been transcribed,
the remainder is available for free in image format.
