CENSUS EXTRACTS
CENSUS EXTRACTS
Below are extracts of the US Censuses. Eventually a similar extract will be made of the Canadian censuses. Each entry generally lists all individuals that lived together in a residential unit (1850 and later censuses). There are a few exceptions, such as where an individual lived in a boarding house, etc. This was done because (a) an individual may be living with another family member or (b) to assist in finding the individual in the actual census records. A family or individual's name in the extract does not imply that they are part of the Germain Doucet family, but simply that they have the same surname of individuals who are a part of the family.
The censuses contain the following surname variations: Daucet, Daucet, Daucett, Daucette, Dauset, Dausete, Dausett, Dausette, Daust, Dosset, Douce, Doucet, Doucete, Doucett, Doucette, Dousat, Douset, Dousete, Dousett, Dousette, Dousset, Doussett, Doussette, Doust, Douzett, Dowcet, Dowcete, Dowcett, Dowcette, Dowset, Dowsete, Dowsett, Dowsette, Ducet, Ducete, Ducett, Ducette, Duset, Dusete, Dusett, Dusette, Dussat, Dusset, Dussett, Dussette.
In nearly every case the names are as shown in the index that was used to make the extract. In a few cases the name was corrected to reflect what the census record actually showed.
Each extract (1850 and later) is searchable by state. All entries are listed in order by state, county, city and Census Enumeration number.
The column headings in each census are self-explanatory. The Census Enumeration number consists of a number showing the order in which dwellings were visited/a number showing the order in which families were visited. You may have several families living within the same dwelling.
If Race is shown in the extract, the following abbreviations are used: B: Black, M: Mulatto, NA: Native American, W: White.
If a family is identified with a family in the Genealogy Section, the assigned family number will appear below the enumeration number.
