schedules. Numbers on the cards match those listed at the

SPECIAL SCHEDULES OF THE ELEVENTH CENSUS

(1890) ENUMERATING UNION VETERANS AND

WIDOWS OF UNION VETERANS OF THE CIVIL WAR

M123. 118 rolls

An act of March 1, 1899, provided that the eleventh census should ‘‘cause to be taken on a special schedule of

inquiry, according to such form as he may prescribe, the

names, organizations, and length of service of those who

had served in the Army, Navy, or Marine Corps of the

United States in the war of the rebellion, and who are survivors at the time of said inquiry, and the widows of soldiers, sailors, or marines.’’ Each schedule requested the

following information: name of the veteran (or if he did

not survive, the names of both the widow and her

deceased husband): the veteran’s rank, company, regiment

or vessel, date of enlistment, date of discharge, and

length of service in years, months, and days; post office

and address of each person listed; disability incurred by

the veteran; and remarks necessary to a complete statement of his term of service. Practically all of the schedules

for the states Alabama through Kansas and approximately

half of those for Kentucky appear to have been destroyed,

possibly by fire, before the transfer of the remaining

schedules to the National Archives in 1943.

The surviving Kentucky records, and the records for the

remaining states (Louisiana through Wyoming), and the

District of Columbia, are available on 118 reels or microfilm at the National Archives.
