Khathu: maybe that is his cousin's daughter
Seventies: And I'm well... lol
Daviss: ok dont know her
alt: yes congrats Khathu
Khathu: I also hit gold at the D.A.R. in locating some family census record for 1890 which listed my gg grandfather Robert Easley.
Daviss: another Congrats khathu!
Khathu: that led me to finally locate his mother in the 1880 Census after looking for over 10 years for her
alt: wow, 1890, that;s a great find Khathu
Daviss: yes it was for 1890 where was this khathu?
Khathu: 1889-1896 to be exact Van zandt County, Texas
alt: 1890 census records are v ery hard and often difficult to locate.
Seventies: I believe that he used a school census alt. Daviss, do any of the counties you research in Texas have school schedules?
alt: okay Seventies, when I hear census I immediately think of federal census records
Daviss: the one in harrison County did not give names
alt: gotta broaden my perspective on census type records
Seventies: ah ok. In Mississippi they are Educable Records. But I thought that MS was the only state that had them.
alt: or at least understand what type of census record the person is talking about
Daviss: counties in Tx are all mixed up..especially mine
Seventies: yes seems as if there isn't much consistency. And records sometimes get destroyed.
alt: kinda like the marrige thing...difference between an application, record, license,
Seventies: right. I used the MS Educable census to help track down descendants. Most of them are still alive today.
alt: really!!!!!!
Seventies: Yes. My mom, my aunts and uncles, a cousin who lives just down the road from us. I'm talking about people who are in their 60's
alt: what years does this record set cover?
Seventies: From the late 1800's to the 1950's
alt: I don't know if Ohio has an equivalent type of record set
Seventies: But the years are sporadic...
alt: wow, that's a great resource.....what types of data are included?
Khathu: i'm back
Daviss: Harrison County has very few records that help me..I have had more success in Grimes Co
alt: welcome
Seventies: Names of parents, where they live, age parent/guardian
alt: that's good stuff Seventies
Seventies: The MS set goes to 1957 alt http://tinyurl.com/d529e8a
Khathu: The school records are called family census which listed all school age children in the household as well as the parents name
Daviss: Do you happen to know what counties have the family census khathu?
alt: okay, I'll check for a cousin whose mother is/was from Rankin Co.
Khathu: they started keeping the records in the late 1850s
Seventies: In Mississippi its called Enumeration of Educable Children Angela mentioned a few years ago here, and I was glad to see that it is an online resource.
Khathu: most of the counties should have them a lot of them are not microfilmed and most counties only have them beginning in the 1920s
alt: I had heard of the record set, but didn't realize it extended into the mid-1900's. lesson learned for today LOL LOL
Seventies: One of the counties I am looking for these school census records is maintained in Louisiana. And family search doesn't have this information online. Hi Selma
Daviss: khathu when you go back can you see if harison county is included
alt: hello grandma ....great photo of you & the lil darlin's
Selma: Good afternoon alt, daviss, khathu and seventies Thank you alt..
Daviss: hi Sel
Khathu: check out this site to see which county has them - www.tsl.state.us/arc/local/index.html Daviss, you will probably have to contact the county clerk's office to see where they are located since I do not see them as being microfilmed
alt: I gotta put up a photo of great-grandchild # 10 ... born 8 Dec 2012, a girl
Daviss: thx khathu
Seventies: It really freaks me out that you're a great grandfather, alt. 70's is kind of young. IMO. My dad is your age.
Khathu: the records are also called scholastic census but they were a part of the office of the superintendent of schools
Seventies: And we are LONG way from having any great grands or grands... lol
