Seminole of Florida. Indian Census, 1930-1940, With Birth and Death Records, 1930-1938

Description

The work at hand, extracted from National Archives Microfilm Series 595, “Native American Census Rolls, 1885-1940,” identifies the members of Florida Seminole households that were enumerated in the annual censuses taken between 1931 and 1940. Transcribed and arranged in alphabetical order by household by Mr. Jeff Bowen, each census entry gives the householderÔÇÖs census number, given name, sex, age, relationship to head of household, degree of Seminole blood, marital status, whether living at jurisdiction where enrolled, and allotment, if any. Whenever possible, Mr. Bowen has supplemented a given census yearÔÇÖs family enumerations with records of Seminole births and/or deaths occurring the same year. In all, he makes reference to thousands of Seminole descendants still living in Florida during the decade of the Great Depression.
