Henderson County, Texas - 1880 Census Index
Terms and Abbreviations



Foreword

Numerous pages were out of sequence and frequently stamped with the 
incorrect page number.  An attempt has been made to correctly sequence 
this schedule by dwelling and family in order that neighbors may be identified. 

All variations of a given name and a surname should be checked on this census.  
No effort was made to correct the spelling of the enumerator.  For example, 
the name of a man of Nordic descent was enumerated as Yeanson and another 
man as Genson.

Some names were obliterated as tape was used on the pages.  This census 
may be also be used as an index.  The researcher may then go directly to the 
page in question and make their own determination.
