Subject: [APG] 1820 census question
Date: Mon, 03 Feb 2003 19:16:39 -0500


I'm finding conflicting information about the categories represented on the
1820 census. The Source, Ancestry.com, and a form I have from Genealogy
Research Assoc. all list slightly different categories for 1820.
I looked at a family of interest in the 1820 census of Westminster,
Windham, VT on Ancestry. There is an image of the census page, but the
category headings are missing. The numbers in the columns are:
0 1 0 0 1 0 3 2 2 1 0 0 4 0 0

I need to know how to interpret this (how many males, females, other etc.).
Are there 6 categories for males and only 5 for females (as my form shows)?
Or 6 for each? What is the next category after females 45+ ? This is
driving me crazy!
Thanks,
