Immigrants not appearing on 1890 America Census
« on: Tuesday 20 June 17 13:22 BST (UK) »
Hi I don't currently have worldwide Ancestry access but in the past I have tried and failed to find my ancestors who emigrated to America in 1884 on the 1890 census. However, they appear of later ones.
Was there a time period you had to be in the country before inclusion on a census?
Any ideas? ???

Most of the 1890 US Census was destroyed by fire and only fragments remain -  that is why you do not find entries.

Thanks for the prompt reply. They were living in Texas but not a part that survived though I guess!
Thanks 😀
