The Real First Families.

Tho Journal has received fromDirec-
tor North OF the census bureau re-
quest to mention a forthcoming publi-
cation Of his department which will be
of special interest to American
gencalogists and to all Of us whose an
cestors were in this country when the
first census was taken in 1890. TINS
publication. or rather series of publ
cations. will contain lists of the names
of all heads of families in the state of
Vermont, New Hampshire, and Mary
land at the date Of the first census,
1890 These pamphlets, of about $50
pages for each state. are sold sepa-
rately by the director Of the census,
Washington, d. C., at 81 each.
These lists have never been published
before A summary of the census was
published in 1871 in a volume Of %
pages. The original schedules were
preserved in Washington until the
burning of the capitol by the British
soldiers. In that fire the returns for
Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky. New
Jersey, Tennessee, and Virginia We're
destroyed. On account of the numer-
Gus requests for information addressed
to he census bureau it seemed best to
print these early schedules for the first
time. The appropriation for the print
ing Of the census bureau for the year
1901 was not large enough to permit the
publication of more than three state
lists. 1t is hoped that the next con-
gress will appropriate money enough to
permit the lists Of heads of families in
Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania,
ana the Carolinas to be published.
The first census report filled Sc pages,
the twelfth fills 400 pages. each as
large as several pages of the first re
port In 1890 Philadelphia was the
capital Of the United States ana had
2S,522 inhabitants, New York was the
largest city, with 33,131 inhabitants.
The Federal City, was planned in
part, but not yet built and not yet
named. Chicago did not exist. There
We're in the United States about SAC. 600
heads of families. The records of no.
600 Of these names have been DESTROYED
The lists about to be published contain
about One-third of the rest. In 1890
the first four states in population were,
in the order named, Virginia, PennSyl-
yania, Massachusetts, North Carolina.
Male whites outnumbered female
whites in every state except Massa-
chuS@tt5. Rhode Island, and Connecti-
cut. Maine Massachusetts and Yer
mont alone had no slaves, although BY
a printers blunder Vermont was
credited with sixteen. The entire cost
Of the first census was $44,3T.
a substantial public demand for
these lists will give moral support to
the demand for the publication of the
remaining lists. These are the official
rolf; of the real first families Of the re-
public.
