NEVADA STATE CENSUS, 1875
(Update adding Douglas, Landon, Ormsby, and Washoe Counties)

This database looks at the state census for the counties of Eureka, Churchill,
Esmeralda, Humboldt, Lyon, Douglas,
Landon, Ormsby, and Washoe. For each entry, the person's name, age, sex,
occupation, status as head of household, and
place of residence are listed. Where the census noted a marriage within
the year
or parents of foreign birth, these
facts are also mentioned. The head of household in many instances is not
easily
determined. Where this is the case, a
member of the household has been listed as the "head," even though
contemporaries may not have recognized him or her as
such. This allows the researcher to see all of the residents of the household
by
searching on the name listed as head.

This database was compiled from a transcription made in 1876 from the original
enumerator's records. Any errors in the
original source have been recorded intact, and the interpretation has been
left
to the researcher. Many minorities were
not named in the original census. More than half of the just over 10,500
entries
in this database are immigrants to the
United States. Over 40 foreign countries and more than 40 other American
states
are listed as places of birth for Nevada
residents of these five counties.
