Subject: [CASANFRA] Completed Transcription for 1870 census for the 4th Ward of San Francisco County...(Finally finished!)
Date: Fri, 04 Jul 2003 16:03:15 -0700

I just completed transcribing the 3rd Ward in the 1870 Census for San
Francisco County, CA and have it online. It was 421 pages in length.
The 4th ward was in the 42nd Enumeration District in 1870. It is my
hope that it will help a lot of people. It took between 8 to 9 months
to complete. This Enumeration District (ED=42) was the largest ED in
the 1870 San Francisco Federal Census (made up of EDs 39-57).

I believe from 'http://americahurrah.com/SanFrancisco/VotingWards.htm'
that the 4th Ward was likely located in an area bounded by in the (N) by
Vallejo St., the (E) by Kearney St, the (S) by Washington St., and the
(W) by Larkin St. I believe that at least part of this part of San
Francisco was distroyed in 1906 in the aftermath of the Great Quake of
1906 by the fire that distroyed much of San Francisco.

I am continuing with the transcribing of the 5th Ward and after it is
completed in a couple of months, I will continue on with the 6th Ward
thru the 12th Ward. This will likely take many months to complete, but
I will periodically inform as to its status. As can be imagined, this
is going
to be quite a task, but will be worth it to me, knowing so many will be
helped.
