Unique Features
- Asked if the father or mother of the individual were foreign born
- Asked if born within the year and to give month
- Asked if a male citizen over 21 years of age
- Asked if a male citizen over 21 years of age, who has had their rights to vote denied other than because of the grounds of rebellion or crime
- If a male individual is missing in this Census, it may serve as a clue that he may have been a casualty of the Civil War
Problems
