Kansas 1920 Census Extraction - Copyright 2002 Janet Laubhan Flickinger; 314 E.

Researched by Janet Flickinger, completed Jan. 2002. Individuals included had to have been born a German from Russia or one of their parents had to be a German from Russia. Occupations were not listed as most were farmers. Most enumerations were taken during Jan.; a few as late as March 1920. Towns or townships included are: Aulne, Blaine, Catlin, Center, Clark, Clear Creek, Colfax, Doyle, Durham, East Branch, Fairplay, Florence, Gale, Goessel, Grant, Hillsboro, Lehigh, Liberty, Logan, Lost Springs, Marion, Menno, Moore, Peabody, Ramona, Risley, Tampa, West Branch, and Wilson. The whole roll was dark and so a lot of the names are guesses considering the "up & down strokes" of the letters! This extraction covers all of Marion Co. (Vol. 36 E.D #65-85) The county was very heavily populated by Germans from Russia. Some enumeration districts were ALL Ger-Rus except 2 or 3 families. Burn City, Antelope, Lincolnville & Grant & Milton Twp., had NO Ger-Rus listed, a couple other townships had only one or two families. In Risley, most all that are listed with "Poland" as birthplace were recorded as "Russia Poland". Others with same surname in others districts of Marion Co. were listed as Ger-Rus (Bartel, Funk, Unruh & Wiebe ). Some were extracted, some not, because of claiming Polish birth. Others omitted were listed as German-Germans or Russian-Russians which possibly was incorrect. You will find Bethesda Hosp. included in Goessel; Salem Hosp. with Hillsboro; Industrial School & Hygiene House with Liberty.

This identification consists of the First Name of the individual listed as "head" followed by the First Letter initial of the surname followed by numerical digits.
