1890 Census: Special Schedule

Survivors and Widows of the War of the Rebellion
Union Veterans of New Mexico

Doña Ana County, Part 1 of 2: Frames #0031-0034.

Abstracted by Mary Ruiz Cárdenas


From the New Mexico Genealogist, September, 1997, pp. 113-121.
A fire at the Congress Department building in January 1921 destroyed almost all of the 1890 Federal Census. This census, of survivors and widows of the Civil War Union veterans who were living in New Mexico in 1890, is one way to help fill in some of those gaps. New Mexico is fortunate in having this schedule complete. Doña Ana County, the first in this series to be published, was concluded in the December 1997 issue of the Genealogist.
The source is: 11th Census, 978.9 U58 189 – Microfilm Roll #44 at Special Collections Branch of Albuquerque Public Library. Transferred from the Veterans' Administration to the National Archives 24 March 1943 (Bundle 105). Because the handwriting on some documents is open to varying interpretations, searchers are encouraged to study the microfilm whenever possible.

Information is provided in this order:
A: Names of Surviving Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, and Widows.
B: Rank, Company, Regiment or Vessel.
C: Dates of Enlistment/Discharge.
D: Enumeration District/Address.
E: House No.; Family No.
F. Quoted Disability/ Remarks.
G. Microfilm Frame No.
Names are spelled as found in the record. An underscore indicates illegible letters or words.
