(Virtual) Genealogy Club--Behind the Numbers: Who Took the U.S. Census and Why It Matters? Online
Ever wonder who collected the information in old census records—or how accurate it really was? This presentation takes you behind the scenes of the U.S. Census from 1790 to 1950, revealing how the government hired, trained, and organized census takers across changing times. Learn how early census data was gathered, why accuracy and privacy evolved, and how understanding the process can help you better interpret what you find in your family history or local research.
Online via Zoom.
Presented by Seema Kenney.
