1920 Census Schedules (T625)
At 9:00 am on January 2, 1920, the Census Bureau began a 14th national census. The Ministry of Agriculture has requested that this time to change from the conventional spring to early summer to January. The Ministry of Agriculture has completed the harvest and gained information on new harvests in the memory of the farmers, and argued that January would be at home in January than in April.
The 1920 census is arranged for states, prisons, counties, and eventually for each constituency. Although the state is lined up in alphabetical order, Alaska, Guam and American territory Samoa, Hawaii, the army and the Navy's schedule, Panama Canal, Puerto Rico, and Virgin Islands (1917 survey) are listed at the end. In 1920, there was no Indians's independent schedule.
The format and information of the 1920 census survey form is similar to that of the 1910 census. However, in the 1920 census, he did not ask about unemployment on the day of the census, and did not ask about working in the North Army or the South Army. In addition, questions about the number of children born and the number of years after marriage were omitted. In the 1920 census, four new items have been added. In the 1920 census, four new questions were added. One was asking the naturalized year, and three were about the native language.
After World War I, some borders have changed, so the enumeration will report the state (region) or city of their parents who have been born in Austrian Hungary, Germany, Russia, and Turkey. I was instructed. If you were born in other foreign countries, only the country name was filled.
Instructions to the enumeration did not need to spell out the personal name. The enumeration only wrote down the given information, and had no authority to seek proof of age or immigration. People were known to change their age during the census, and some claimed that they did not know their age. Racial judgment was made based on the impression of the enumeration.
Individuals were listed as residents who are sleeping regularly, not working or visit. People who do not have a fixed residence, such as "FLOATERS" and temporary railways and construction camps, have been listed as residents of the place where the population was conducted. If the family is temporarily absent, it will be listed with the household or in the last schedule of a small parcel. Therefore, the user needs to always check the page. The answers displayed in the microfilmized schedule depend on the content recorded by the investigator and the content that the person who heard to the investigator.
Microfilm may have code numbers and letters in several columns. These codes were added by the clerk after the census to punch the results of the census to collect cards, and by the clerk (indistinguishable in microfilm). This code is usually a mark that represents the household configuration, occupation, worker class, simply by code, punching, or aggregation work itself, and should be ignored.
Sound tex
The Census Bureau created and photographed the Sound Dex Index card for the entire national census in 1920. Sounddex is not a surname spell, but a surname (name) index that is codeed based on the sound. Like Smith and Smyth, the sound is the same but the surname with different spells has the same code and is filed together. The Soundex code system was developed to find it, even if the surname was recorded in various spelling. The National Archives assigned separate microfilm publications to each state and the prospects. < SPAN> After World War I, some borders have changed, so the enumerated people (regions) or cities of their parents (regions) or their parents (regions) or their parents (regions) or their parents (regions).

Sound tex
The Census Bureau created and photographed the Sound Dex Index card for the entire national census in 1920. Sounddex is not a surname spell, but a surname (name) index that is codeed based on the sound. Like Smith and Smyth, the sound is the same but the surname with different spells has the same code and is filed together. The Soundex code system was developed to find it, even if the surname was recorded in various spelling. The National Archives assigned separate microfilm publications to each state and the prospects.
The Census Bureau used two types of sounddex cards, "Family Card" and "Individual Card". Both cards are lined up in numerical order in the Sound Dex code, and the family card is lined up in the alphabetical order of the head of the household, and the personal name is in alphabetical order.
The personal card describes the names of people other than direct households (husbands, wives, sons, daughters) listed with their families. Grandparents, cousins, boarders, servants, etc. This card also describes the name of the head of the household and the name of the facility where the person lives.
The information on the Sound Dex card includes surname, name, residence state, county, city (if applicable), age, birthplace, and US citizens. Each card also includes the number of volumes, population areas, seat numbers, and line numbers found in the population table.
Sound Dex Certification System
All Sound Dex codes are composed of characters and three numbers, as in the S-650. Alphabet is always the first character of the surname, whether vowel or consonant. Ignore the remaining vowels and w, y, and h, assign a number to the next three consonants according to the Soundex code guide. If you do not have three consonants following the initials, fill the 3-digit code using zero.
Most surnames can be codeed using the Soundex code guide. The names with the same number of the Soundex code system are described below.
Sound Dex Coding Guide
Same as code key letters 1 B, P, F, V 2 C, S, K, G, J, Q, X, Z 3 D, T 4 L 5 M, N 6 R
Name with a prefix
If the surname has a prefix such as VAN, VON, DE, DI, LE, etc., codes will be made regardless of prefix. For example, the vandevanter surname is V-531 or D-153.
MC and Mac are not considered prefix.
Double character name
If the surname has double letters, they should be treated as one letter. Therefore, in the case of Lloyd surname, the second L is erased, and the second R is erased in the case of GutierRez surname.
Name with characters with the same number in the Sound Dex Code Guide
For example, PFister's PF (1 is both p and f), Jackson CKS (2 is C, K, S). These characters are treated as one character. Therefore, in the case of pfister, F is erased, and K and S are erased for Jackson.
Survey hints
-In the schedule, the investigator may have replaced the numbers of the supervisor's district and the enumeration (ED). However, the ED and the visiting number remain in the correct number order.
Alabama
-The Soundex card is not always accurate. If you can't find the person listed first, the order of the card may be crazy. If you are not in the place where you are listed, you may need to read all the schedule, the entire enumeration, or the entire county.
-Since the index creator has overlooked the name, not all people listed in the schedule are registered in Soundex. In that case, you may need to read the whole county.
Alaska
Arizona
-Most facilities are at the end of the enumeration, even if they are listed on a address.
Lord area (ED)
Arkansas
The schedule of the census has been organized by state or the prospect, county, and in 1880 for population survey districts (ED). ED is an area where investigators cover when conducting a census. To refer to the population survey table in a specific town, small citizens, geographical regions, and large cities, you must know the population survey district. The National Archives Microfilm Publication T1224 describes the boundary of the ED in 1920.
Descriptions of Census Enumeration District, 1830-1890 AND 1910-1950 (T1224) Roll Constituency assigned to states, counties, and cities in the year's census The number is listed. The explanation is arranged in alphabetical order for each state, and below it is lined up in the supervisor area (a wide geographical area that covers multiple counties). Next, each county is arranged under the township or city. The ED is on the left side of the page. The following is an example of T1224.

Alabama has a complicated and dee p-permeated slavery history, including the separation and the Jim Crow Act. The slavery was based on the economy and social structure of Alabama in the 19th century. At that time, Alabama became a cotton production power, which greatly depends on slave labor.
Alabama, like many southern states, seceded from the Union in 1861 to protect slavery. Alabama played a key role in the Confederacy, contributing troops and resources to the southern cause. After the Civil War, Alabama, like other southern states, enacted Jim Crow laws. These laws, enacted in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, institutionalized racial segregation in public facilities, education, and many aspects of daily life, reinforcing racial inequality and discrimination against African Americans for decades to come. The civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s made great strides toward the elimination of these discriminatory laws and practices in Alabama, but the shadow of slavery lingers, and the impact of this history on African Americans continues to this day. In the 1901 Alabama Constitution, "The new Constitution will eliminate the ignorant Negro vote and place the leadership of government where Almighty God intended it, the Anglo-Saxon race," John Knox, president of the Constitutional Convention, said in a speech urging voters to ratify that year.
The following is a chronological list of black codes and Jim Crow laws enacted in Alabama:
1. Black Codes of 1865 After the end of the Civil War, Alabama enacted black codes to restrict the rights and freedoms of newly freed African-Americans. These codes imposed restrictions on labor contracts, curfews, and anti-vagrancy laws aimed at African-Americans.
2. Railroad Segregation Act of 1891: This act required separate seats on trains for African-Americans and whites. It enforced racial segregation in public transportation and limited African-Americans' access to equal accommodations.
3. Separate Car Law of 1895: This law extended racial segregation to streetcars and required separate seats and accommodations for African-Americans and whites. Violation of this law was punishable by fine or imprisonment.
4. Poll Tax: In 1901, Alabama amended its state constitution to impose a poll tax. This tax disproportionately affected African-Americans, who had to pay a fee to vote, effectively suppressing their right to vote.
3. Separate Car Law of 1895: This law extended racial segregation to streetcars and required separate seats and accommodations for African-Americans and whites. Violation of this law was punishable by fine or imprisonment.
6. School Separation method: From the late 19th century, Alabama has enacted laws that require racial separation at school. These laws have created a separated and uniform educational system for African American students and white students, and African Americans can only receive less resources and poor facilities.
7. Grandfather clause: In 1901, Alabama conducted a "grandfather clause" exempt from literacy tests and other voting restrictions if their grandfather had the right to vote before the abolition of slavery. This was effectively eliminating the voting rights of African Americans due to their ancestors.
8. Housing isolation: Alabama has forced racial isolation through various housing isolation and practices. These measures, including re d-lines and discriminatory housing practices, have restricted access to African American housing and persisted.
This list is not comprehensive, and there were many other discriminatory laws and comparations that forced racial isolation during the Jim Crow era and restricted the rights of African Americans. It is important to pay attention to.
