| The manuscript census is the single fullest
record. Every ten years, the government commissioned census takers
who visited every house in their district. There, they asked the head
of the household a series of personal questions: the age of everyone
in the home, his or her race, wealth, occupation, age, literacy,
physical state, and birthplace. We are in the process of transcribing
the entire census for both places so that it is searchable by each of
these categories. For conversion of census returns
into SPSS 9.0.0 for Windows, please refer to our Data Conversion Guide for SPSS
