School Census Records
These records date back to 1923. They list what school, parent/guardians, children, ages, sex, and in some instances, addresses. These are in .pdf format and are scans of the original documents, therefore they are not text enabled. As they are scanned and ready for upload, we will have these loaded for your research purposes! (No further information is available regarding these documents.)
Some files are rather large it may take several minutes to download depending on your internet speed!
The documents were scanned in the order in which they were found in the box, some letters may not be in the proper sequence.
We do not at present time know why we house only these years, and these schools, or where remaining censuses, if any, still exist.
