CANTON -- Tom LaClair, president of the Jefferson County Genealogical Society will address the St. Lawrence Valley Genealogical Society at the Silas Wright House of the St. Lawrence County Historical Association, on Main Street, Thursday, May 25, at 7 p.m.
LaClair will discuss the 1890 Federal Census.
Of the decennial population census schedules, perhaps none might have been more critical to studies of immigration, industrialization, westward migration, and characteristics of the general population than the Eleventh Census of the United States, taken in June 1890, said a press release from the historical society.
Reference sources routinely dismiss the 1890 census records as "destroyed by fire" in 1921.
Examination of the records of the Bureau of Census and other federal agencies, however, reveals a far more complex tale, said the release.
