Index (Soundex) to the 1900 population schedules

A card index to the 1900 census schedules was prepared by the Works Projects Administration during the 1930's. Information was abstracted from the census schedules and placed on filecards. The cards give name, race, month and year of birth, age, citizenship status, place of residence by state and country, civil division, and, where appropriate for urban dwellers, the city name, house number, and street name. The cards also list the volume number, enumeration district number, and page and line numbers of the original schedules from which the information was taken. Three types of cards were prepared: household cards; individual cards; and cards for institutions, military posts, naval stations, and U.S. flag vessels.
