The 1880 United States Federal Census

The Federal United States Census for the year of 1880 has more to it than just the page you will find easily. There are other forms beyond the main form and few people realize that more information is available for their ancestors. Unfortunately many of the pay and free on-line sites show you only the main form and they do not hint that more information survives. Most people do not know that more information exists so they are happy with what they found and move on, missing a lot.

This easy read book explains the different 1880 Federal United States Census forms and gives you information about each. You will see the instructions given to the enumerators and the questions asked of each household for each different form. You will also see a sample of each form.
