In Reply to: Re: 1860 census lookup please Jefferson Co. AL by MARY JOHNSON of 36015

Here is what I have been able to find for you. Be aware that census information is only as good as the person who gave the info to the census taker and the ability of the census taker to record it accurately. You will notice that ages will be inconsistent from one census year to the next. Some of the images were very difficult to read, hence (sp?) when I was not sure of the spelling.

I have not been able to find John in 1930. Hope this information gives you a good start on your research. If you need further information on individuals, you will need to make new posts, specifically concerning those individuals.

Good luck in your research.
