Research Guide for the New
York 1910 Federal Census by
Ann Hunt
In 1998, the Friends of the Archives published the
index of counties and towns in the state of New York for the 1910 Federal
Census,
National Archives Microfilm Publication T624. Previously there was only a street
index for the counties of New York, Queens and Kings.
NARA volunteer,
Ann Hunt, painstakingly compiled and edited this valuable resource for
researchers.
The 1910 census details the following information for each
person listed:
-
name
-
relationship to head of household
-
sex
-
color or race
-
age at last birthday
-
marital status
-
length of present marriage
-
number of children born and number living at time of the
census (if a mother)
-
place of birth
-
place of birth of father and mother
-
year of immigration and citizenship status (if foreign
born)
-
language spoken
-
occupation
-
type of industry employed in
-
whether employer, employee or self-employed, if unemployed
on April 15th
-
number of weeks unemployed during previous year
-
ability to read and write
-
if attended school since September 1, 1909
-
if home is owned or rented and if home is owned or
mortgaged
-
if survivor of the Union or Confederate Army or Navy
-
if blind, deaf, or dumb.
The index is organized in two parts. The first part is
alphabetical by town names, then numerical within each town by Ward number
(when a Ward is given). It lists the microfilm roll number, volume,
enumeration district, and page number where each town begins
and each consecutive enumeration district of the town. There is also a
Comments column that lists villages, districts, Indian settlements,
institutions, as well as aids for using the film, for example, indications of illegible
page numbers and mistakes in numbering. The organization of the second part of
the index is alphabetical by county names, then alphabetical by towns within the
counties, than numerical by ward or district (when given).
