1905 IOWA STATE CENSUS

 

This 1905 State Census is just a series of books with names in running in I guess the order they were recorded. No relationships, ages or anything else. Fortunately it was close enough to the 1900 that most can be figured out.

 

In looking up the first 25 Putman families, 7 entries were directed to the wrong pages. I could guess on some, but begin to feel I am wasting my time. I may come back, may not.

1915 IOWA STATE CENSUS

 

I am going to try this one. Hope it is better than the 1905, which was a waste of time.

 

Wrong again. This Census shows us little forms with info that is handwritten and canմ be read very easily. I can get info on some Counties, zilch on others. Then the cards or forms only have one name so you have no clues as to who lives with whom.  Here is their first listing. Good luck.

I think this is going to be a waste of time as well. We have the 1910 and 1920 so that works okay. The huge help were the 1885 and 1895 that were indeed easy to see and understand and they filled that horrible 20 year void in the Federal Censuses.
