This week Maureen E. gave us an excellent overview of the "other censuses," also known as the non-population schedules. These included the mortality schedules (1850-1885), veterans' schedules (1840 & 1890), slave schedules (1850-60), agriculture schedules (1850-80), manufacturing schedules and defective, dependent and delinquent classes. Some of these census reports are available on Ancestry or FamilySearch, but many will have to be located at state archives or libraries. The 1871 census for Canada also includes many of the same categories and can be found on Ancestry or Library Archives Canada.
Thanks, Maureen, for a very informative presentation!
