Census Identification Project

Jtdris: /* Volunteers */

== Overview ==
We've all searched the census records as we've traced our own families. We typically start with the most recent census and then work backwards, following our family back through time. If we're lucky enough to get back to 1840 and earlier, we hope that we've identified the right family as only the head of household's name is listed. Each of us typically does this on our own, but what if we get it wrong? What if two of us claim the same person in one of these earlier census records and one of us is wrong? How would we ever know? What if someone mysteriously shows up in a location, and leaves no trail of where he came from? How can he be identified? To solve these issues, the [[Whitney Research Group]] has undertaken this project.

== Goals ==
Gain a better understanding of Whitney families by analyzing census records. Identify each Whitney in the census and create links between each census extract and the appropriate Family Group Page (FGP), as well as from the FGPs to the appropriate census extracts.

== Benefits ==
# Allows us to follow each family through the census
# Allows us to identify families who moved by the process of elimination
# Allows us to identify those missing from the published census indexes and attempt to find them

== Success Stories ==
Robert Ward has stated "the analysis of the 1790 census entries has led me to some connections I hadn't made before. It has also led me to the realization that we are close to a tipping point, and to having a critical mass of data. Once we pass that point, we should be able to make even more connections, and when someone posts a query, we are, and will be, more and more able to answer it."

== Task List ==

* Update all census indexes with data from ancestry.com.
* Add census ''extracts''.
