Census Reports
1870 – 1950
============
UPDATED JULY 27, 2022
In
1850, Idaho was included in the 1850 census for the Oregon Territory. In 1860,
it was included in the 1860 census of the State of Washington. There were no
Putmans or Putnams in either as near as I can figure. By 1863, it became its
own territory and included Wyoming and Montana. It became the present Idaho in
1868 as a territory. In 1890, it became the 43rd state.

IDAHO
1950 CENSUS
This is a work in
progress. Updated June 30, 2022
In the 1940 census and especially now in the 1950 Census,
the handwriting on the sheets is a bit better. But now that people are using
Ancestry and Family Search and putting their family trees up on the sites, and
the sites themselves have much better search engines and send you to a whole
bunch of info docs and records. I now can find a family sheet on about everyone
and many on the wife’s side. When I first started doing this in the very early 1970s,
all that was available to see was up to the 1900. There was no such thing as
on-line and the computers then were the size of a locker room. I had to drive
out to Waltham, Massachusetts to the U. S. Library, beg for a film real of the
dates and State I wanted and then look at it through a visual device in a back
dark room and literally go page to page, county to county and write the info
down on paper with a pencil. At that time, really the most people doing
genealogy were older women, mostly retired school teachers in their 70s and
80s, who would send you hand written trees and info and stuff that they had
back a couple of generations. Once in a while I would get an actual typewritten
document. Wow! Got much better in the 1990s. Now it is soooo
easy to get info you didn’t think was possible. Back in the 70s I tried calling
folks, and got a hold of several who had info. Now just an e-mail can bring in
a ton of info. Anyway, really enjoy these censuses, and if you can add or
correct, please let me know so I can help others.
