When you e-mail them please
type in the subject heading: "look-up". We get so much mail and
many are suspect as viruses. That goes for any look-up, otherwise
it could be deleted. Thanks.
We will not look up a child who might be living in any
given household of a surname such as Jones or Smith, there are simply too many
to look up!
The information to be obtained from the 1920 census is: head of household,
spouse if there is one, children and others living within that household.
For each name given, there is an age, single, widowed or divorced. The
first state is that person's birthplace, the second state is that of the father
of that person, and the third is the mother of that person-always that
order.
One thing
I noticed while working on this index is that there were many married or
widowed daughters living with their parents, but the census taker failed to put
their married names. It is my suggestion that when you can't find the person
you're seeking and you know the parents' names, you might try their listing.
Also there were many step children listed under the names of their st.dad, so
that'll make look-ups more difficult. Initials are very difficult to get
correct so certainly keep in mind many can be wrong.
The enumerator for the old District 19 in the
Coker Creek and Jalapa areas of Monroe Co. made this interesting
comment:
The note listed after page 283B.
“This ends the enumeration of the
old 19th District of Monroe Co. Tenn.
The land rented from A.L. Babcock, Maryville, Tenn. is a few small
tracts of land cleared in what is called squatters and was done before Mr.
Babcock purchased the land and is a vast mountain region the merchantable
timber was cut off some 3 or 4 years back. This accounts for there being no woodland on these tracts as
the people are only allowed to use only cleared land and use only dead
timber.
William R. Witt, enumerator
P.S. My population sheet got wet in
storm and in copying was
overlooked, made out the agriculture sheet 137, sheet no 4a line 17.” (The best I can figure out he's
referring to the start of pg. 277A,
the stamped page number on the microfilm-Joy)
