Talk:Missouri Census

I am having a difficult time reading the column headings for the 1876 Missouri State Census on Ancestry.com. If anyone knows what they are and could add the info to this page, it would be very helpful.

According to Missouri resource sheet posted by the Dallas Public Library: "The 1876 census contains the name of the heads of households and the number of people by color and sex for the age categories of 0–10, 10–18, 18–21, 21–45, and over 45. The deaf, dumb, blind, and insane are indicated by sex and color. There are also data for livestock and agricultural productions." (http://dallaslibrary2.org/genealogy/docs/resources_microforms/missouri.pdf). That's the best I can find--hope it helps.

The livestock and ag products headings are:

Horses, Mules, Jacks (male donkeys), Jennets (female donkeys), Cattle, Sheep, Hogs

Bus [bushels] Wheat, Bus Corn, Bus Oats, Bus Barley, Bus Rye

Lbs Tobacco, Lbs Wool, Lbs Sugar

Tons Hay, Tons Hemp

Gallons Whiskey, Gallons Wine, Gallons Moleasses

(FamilySearch has more readable copies.)

If you look at a transcription from the USGenWeb Census Project, it has the headings transcribed. Try this link, http://usgwcensus.org/cenfiles/mo/lewis/1880/ed27/ed27p01.txt evancol
