Matt Rutheford presents "Using Non-population census schedules"
When genealogists refer to "the census," we usually mean the population census, in which households are enumerated. Invaluable though these are, we short-change ourselves if don't use all the other census information that is available for our research. If you have ancestors who were farmers, slaves, or manufacturers, you'll want to avail yourself of the non-population census schedules. Even those Americans who had other occupations often had a farming or manufacturing business on the side. Don't lose out on all the census has to offer. Come join Matt Rutherford, Newberry librarian, as he explains how to research non-population census schedules.
