The Portable Genealogist: Massachusetts State Census; by Christopher C. Childs; 4 pp., folded; Laminated; 8.5x11; Published: 2013; ISBN: 9780880823050; Item # NE35
Massachusetts researchers are fortunate to have so many early resources for genealogical and historical research. One source that is often overlooked however, is the 1855 and 1865 Massachusetts State Census.
Although disregarded because of the flanking 1850, 1860, and 1870 U.S. federal census, the Massachusetts State Census contains valuable genealogical information and insight into Civil War-era Massachusetts. This Portable Genealogist will assist you in understanding, locating, and using this key record.
