Treasure Chest Tuesday -- 1910 U.S. Census for the Torger Leland Household in Deerfield, Dane County, Wisconsin

Yes, I know it's supposed to be Treasure Chest Thursday, but I can't help it - I want to share some of the records that I (and others) have found in my/their repository and online searches for my ancestral families.

This week the treasure is the 1910 United States Federal Census record for the Torger Leland  household in Deerfield, Dane County, Wisconsin:

The source citation for this record is:

1910 United States Federal Census, Dane County, Wisconsin, population schedule, Deerfield township, Enumeration District 49, Page 7B (stamped), Dwelling #21A, Family #21A, T.H. Leland household; digital image, Ancestry.com (http://www.ancestry.com), citing National Archives Microfilm Publication T624, Roll 1708.

The Torger Leland family resided in Deerfield in the 1910 U.S. census, and only three of their 7 living children were residing with their parents.   All of the age and birthplace information, are correct. 

The immigration information shows that Torger Leland came to the USA as a boy in 1857, and that Anna (Natvig) Leland came to the USA in 1867.  Torger has an entry in the naturalization column.

Torger and Anna (Natvig) Leland were my wife Linda's great-grandparents.  She is descended through their son Severt Oliver Leland (1878-1940), who married Amelia Anna Brocke (1884-1975) in 1904.
