Title: 1850 United States Federal Census Page: http://www.myheritage.com/research/collection-10126/1850-united-states-federal-census?s=156831821&itemId=5111860-&groupId=8518acb219e051fb7885f7c4615f3870&action=showRecord&indId=individual-156831821-1000146 http://www.myheritage.com/research/collection-10126/1850-united-states-federal-census?s=156831821&itemId=5111860-&groupId=8518acb219e051fb7885f7c4615f3870&action=showRecord&indId=individual-156831821-1000146 Publication: MyHeritage Text: Federal census takers were asked to record information about every person who was in each household on the census day. A census taker might have visited a house on a later date, but the information he collected was supposed to be about the people who were in the house on the census day. The basic census enumeration unit was the county. Each county was divided into enumeration districts, one for each enumerator. The completed forms were sent to the Commerce Departmentâ€s Census Office in Washington, D.C. Federal censuses are usually reliable, depending on the knowledge of the informant and the care of the census enumerator. Information may have been given to a census taker by any member of the family or by a neighbor. Some information may have been incorrect or deliberately falsified.

Title: Find a Grave Page: http://www.myheritage.com/research/collection-10013/find-a-grave?s=156831821&itemId=65541018-&action=showRecord&indId=individual-156831821-1000146 http://www.myheritage.com/research/collection-10013/find-a-grave?s=156831821&itemId=65541018-&action=showRecord&indId=individual-156831821-1000146 Publication: MyHeritage Text: When it comes to administrating, building and maintaining the site, Find A Grave is largely operated by its founder, Jim Tipton. Jim created the Find A Grave website in 1995 because he could not find an existing site that catered to his hobby of visiting the graves of famous people. He found that there are many thousands of folks around the world who share his interests. What began as an odd hobby became a livelihood and a passion. Building and seeing Find A Grave grow beyond his wildest expectations has been immensely satisfying for Jim. Every day, contributors from around the world enter new records, thousands use the site as an educational reference tool, long-lost loved ones are located and millions of lives are fondly remembered. In what other line of work would Jim have met one of the last living Munchkins, spoken to a gathering of grave enthusiasts in a Hollywood mausoleum and acquired treasures like his antique coffin screwdriver (it only screws in)?
