Free Printable 1880 Census Extraction Form
A blank form with every question on the 1880 U.S. federal census population schedule. The first census to state each person's relationship to the head of household, and the birthplace of each parent.
Copying a census page onto a form with labeled columns makes it much easier to read every answer, especially when the enumerator's handwriting is faint or the headings are cut off in the image. The first census to state each person's relationship to the head of household, and the birthplace of each parent.
Columns the Census Office used only for its own statistical codes are left out. Copy the whole household, plus a few neighbors on either side, since relatives often lived next door. For what each column means and how to use it, see How to Read the U.S. Federal Census.
