"Veterans' Schedules: U.S. Selected States, 1890"
===========================================================
Veteran's schedules were forms that the census takers had
with them when they were taking the regular population count.
In 1890, these extra veterans' schedules were meant only to
record information about Union soldiers and their widows.
However, many census takers also recorded information about
Confederate soldiers, as well as soldiers who served in
different wars, including the War of 1812 and the Mexican-
American War. You should note that these veterans' schedules
are often used as a partial substitute for the 1890 federal
census, because the federal government's copy was destroyed
by fire. Fragments of the 1890 census may exist in state and
local repositories throughout the U.S., but they are difficult
to locate and not complete. While not listing everyone who
would have been included in the 1890 census, the veterans'
schedules are a partial head-of-household list for those
who were old enough to have served in the Union Army during
the Civil War. States represented include AL, D.C. IL, KY,
LA, MD, ME, MI, MS, MT, NC, ND, NE, NH, NJ, NM, NV, OK, OR,
RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, VT, WA, WI, WV, and WY. In
addition, there are a few records from the states of CA,
CT, DE, FL, GA, ID, IN, KS, MA, NY, OH, and PA.
