This page was
created by our own research of microfilm documents at
NARA's Pacific Alaska Region (Seattle) office
and represents the first installment of our own research we hope to bring to you.
Transposing our copies of the microfilm into this document took a great deal of time
so please give our site credit if you use this page in any way. Other than that,
use this information as you like.
We added some color coding to aid in reading this document,
yellow for Family Group numbers (note* we added this category),
red for Indian Name's,
and green for the Relation to head of household category.
All data from the census has been given here, but where you see question marks
they denote items we couldn't quite decipher from the handwritten census documents. This is the
complete special census from 1880 on the Swinomish Indian Reservation.
