"Why and Wherefore of Non-Population Census Records" 
by Everett B. Ireland, CG
Where does one find non-population schedules and what do they tell us about our Ancestors? These are typically referred to as “Occupational Schedules of the Federal Censuses: Agriculture, Industrial and Manufacturing, Mining and Fisheries.” Many of these original schedules are hard to locate and have been lost or destroyed over the years. Those remaining are valuable additions to the facts about our ancestor’s lives. The non-population schedules for 1850 and subsequent years have mostly survived but are located in a number of repositories across the country. Many have been digitized and indexed and are now accessible on subscription websites like Ancestry.com. These will be covered during my lecture.

Everett Ireland is a Board Certified Genealogist (CG), specializing in 19th century genealogical research in the Midwest (Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio) and southern California. He has lectured nationally at NGS and FGS conferences as well as in Southern California. He is the author of The Irelands in America (Gateway, 1989,) Adam Vogt, German Immigrant - Illinois Farmer (StorySeekers, 2008) and articles in Western Maryland Genealogy, Genealogical Helper, COMPU.GEN, CSGA Newsletter, NGS Quarterly and the APG Quarterly. He is a past board member of the Association of Professional Genealogists and served on the Board of Directors of the National Genealogical Society.

What about things like high school diplomas, Sunday School certificates, certificates of appreciation for years of service, or funeral home cards?
