Map Guide to the U. S. Federal Censuses, 1790-1920

Description: Great book in like new condition. The corners of the front cover show minimal wear. Please see pictures for the exact condition. Clean pages with no rips, marks, or tears. Great Value!! Map Guide to the U.S. Federal Censuses, 1790-1920, is an award-winning publication and a great tool in U.S. census research. The county has always been used as the basic Federal census unit. Genealogical research in the census, therefore, begins with identifying the correct county jurisdictions. This work shows all U.S. county boundaries from 1790 to 1920. On each of the nearly 400 maps the old county lines are superimposed over the modern ones to highlight the boundary changes at ten-year intervals. Also included are (1) a history of census growth; (2) the technical facts about each census; (3) a discussion of census accuracy; (4) an essay on available sources for each state's old county lines; and (5) a statement with each map indicating which county census lines exist and which are lost. There is an index listing all present-day counties, plus nearly all defunct counties or counties later re-named. The detail in this work is exhaustive and meets impeccable standards. Truly a valuable resource tool. The proceeds from the sale of this book goes to Children's, Teen and Adult programs at Tomball Community Library located in Tomball, Texas.
