HOLSEY --
Federal Census Records -- 1860
Description:
This database details those persons enumerated in the
1860 United States Federal Census, the Eighth Census of
the United States. In addition, the names of those listed
on the population schedule are linked to the actual
images of the 1860 Federal Census, copied from the
National Archives and Records Administration microfilm,
M653, 1438 rolls. (If you do not initially find the name
on the page that you are linked to, try a few pages
forward or backward, as sometimes different pages had the
same page number.)
Enumerators of the 1860 census were instructed to record
the names of every person in the household. Added to
this, enumerators were presented with printed
instructions, which account for the greater degree of
accuracy compared with earlier censuses. Enumerators were
asked to include the following categories in the census:
name; age as of the census day; sex; color; birthplace;
occupation of persons over age fifteen; value of real
estate; whether married within the previous year; whether
deaf, dumb, blind, insane, a pauper, or a convict;
whether able to read or speak English; and whether the
person attended school within the previous year. No
relationships were shown between members of a household.
The categories allowed Congress to determine persons
residing in the United States for collection of taxes and
the appropriation of seats in the House of
Representatives.
Few, if any, records reveal as many details about
individuals and families as do the U.S. federal censuses.
The population schedules are successive
"snapshots" of Americans that depict where and
how they were living at particular periods in the past.
Because of this, the census is often the best starting
point for genealogical research after home sources have
been exhausted.
This release includes the records for the following
states: Georgia.
Extended Description:
The United States was the first country to call for a
regularly held census. The Constitution required that a
census of all "Persons...excluding Indians not
taxed" be performed to determine the collection of
taxes and the appropriation of seats in the House of
Representatives. The first nine censuses from 1790 to
1870 were organized under the United States Federal Court
system. Each district was assigned a U.S. marshal who
hired other marshals to administer the census. Governors
were responsible for enumeration in territories.
The official enumeration day of the 1860 census was 1
June 1860. All questions asked were supposed to refer to
that date. By 1860, there were a total of thirty-three
states in the Union, with Minnesota and Oregon being the
latest editions. There were no substantial state- or
district-wide losses.
