In time we may endeavor to include the information on school attendance and literacy on separate pages. This is a completely new index and extraction which was completed by Virtual Victoria volunteers. The actual microfilm roll is available to the public at the Victoria Public Library, along with other censuses for Victoria County. All census information should be taken with a dose of caution. Most researchers find that census records are essentially reliable, although everyone has come across more than a few glaring and sometimes outrageous mistakes.
Some errors are typographical on our part, or a misunderstanding of the letters when transcribing.
For the most part, the census is a solid and dependable method of researching your family history in Victoria or any other county. It's possible, if not probable, that we goofed here and there when transcribing, but the actual census does show some nontraditional names, occupations, etc. The most common potential error we made was in confusing those people born in Tennessee and those born in Texas. As always, if you are doing research then always check the original document as soon as you can. A question mark means that we could not transcribe that entry.
