I have extracted much census data over the years, all recorded on paper forms. By nature I'm not terribly organized and I simply got tired of trying to keep track of a mountain of paper. I did an Internet search to look for a spreadsheet, thinking that someone must have done this before me. To my surprise I found nothing. When I finished my 1790-1920 federal census spreadsheet I thought others might find it useful.
Genealogy is about sharing.
When I first offered my spreadsheet I thought I'd get 10-20 requests. The response was overwhelming and it quickly became obvious that the spreadsheet was badly needed by other researchers as fed up as me over piles of unorganized census data. I am making my current and future spreadsheets available free. My address is on the homepage if you'd like to mail a check. Back to the top 2.
