1880 Federal Census, Alameda County, California - Murray Township, Residents 1850-2309 Reprinted by permission. © 2001 by Intellectual Reserve, Inc. The most massive data extraction effort ever undertaken by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) culminated on June 1, 2001 with the release of the 1880 U.S. Census database on compact disk. With 50.5 million names, it is a fully extracted record with every name indexed. As an indication of the magnitude of the effort, it required 11.5 million hours of labor by the extractors, spread over 17 years. A tiny fraction of the database - that pertaining to the home locale of the Livermore-Amador Genealogical Society (L-AGS) - is presented on these Web pages as a handy reference for local historians and genealogists. Using the powerful search engine on the L-AGS home page allows researchers to find any name - in fact, any word - anywhere on the Web site. Any search will now include this 1880 census tabulation. The full records as presented in the Church database are listed in the order written down by the census-taker. In all, 4604 names of residents are included. Each record contains a sequence number, the individual's full name, relationship to head of the house, age, gender, race, marital status, occupation, birthplace, and the birthplace of the individual's parents. The head of each household is indicated by "Self" in the Relationship column. As an aid to the eye, the name of the head of the household is set one space to the left of the other names in the household. Not all residents in a household are family members, of course - many are farm workers, presumably living in bunkhouses. Individuals not related to the head of the household are indicated by "Other" in the Relationship column. | |
