[or-roots] intervening year census records

[Kith-n-Kin]

Thank you, Layne!

My grandmother, Nellie Pearl Palmer was born 1889 in Elk City, (then) Benton
County. Her mother, Charlotte "Lottie" (Parks) Palmer, died in 1897 in Elk
City, Lincoln County (county change 1893).

So, it is of interest to find the family in 1895, as a unit. Not finding the
1895 for Lincoln, darn it. 

We know Nellie was sent to live with various relatives, but I've also not
been able to find her (but did find her father, Henry Laramie Palmer, in
Marion County) in 1900. 

She could have been with her Parks or Richardson families, but not finding
her with any of them. 

And, did I ask for details during our long talks? Heck no, we had to talk
about "Uncle Buck" (a Graves uncle in San Luis Obispo, fought with Pancho
Villa - not really, wrong war) or "Uncle Nixon" the Palmer uncle whose "son
Gussie" (actually stepson) "shot by accident" and Nixon "killed in Africa." 

Yes, good stories (and verified, sad, stories) but really, Gramma, what
happened after your mother died? Sigh.

I'm sure the mouldering papers exist somewhere to open up the last decade of
the 19th century.right?

Thanks for the references.

Pat

Dear Rooters,

 

If you go to the link below you can access the County Historical Records
guide for each county and it will show you which counties still have extant
intervening censuses.  They may exist as far back as 1865 through 1905.
Only a very small portion survived.

Hope you all had a happy and safe 4th of July.
