Union Co., SD - 1890 U. S. Census 

	This file contains the only surviving 1890 US Census records for South	    
	Dakota. Nearly all  of the 1890 population schedules were destroyed or 
	badly damaged by fire in the Commerce Department Building in January, 1921. 

	Transcribed by Joy Fisher from the microfilm, 1997.

	This file may be freely copied for non-profit purposes. All other rights reserved.

	Quality of record: poor - smudges and over-writing by another person, record 
		appears singed, poor penmanship of census taker.

	Quality of film: New film - probably the best available copy.
