As you know, 99% of the 1890 census was destroyed by fire. There is a
project to publish a book listing all U.S. residents living at that
time.

This information will be furnished by descendants of those people.

There is no charge for listing your ancestors and when permission is
granted,
contributors will be listed with the proper reference to their
ancestor
entries. Submission deadline is April 2000. The data will be
published
and sold at cost with copies going to the Library of Congress, Maine
State
Library, Maine State Historical Society and the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints Library.

For submitting your ancestor's vital stats please use the following
format:

Head of Household-full name, age, date of birth, place of birth
(include

town-county-state), sex, race (W=white, C=colored, I=Indian, A=Asian).
Spouse-full name, maiden name in ( )'s, age, date of birth, sex, race.
Information source-list family Bible, family genealogy book, etc.
Notes
are optional. Some notes will be added, e.g., 1st or 2nd wife,
children
by
which wife, if they died or got married in 1890 or additional surname
spellings. NOTE: person who died before 1890 or was born after 1890
will be omitted from the book.
