CENSUS

If you have any corrections or additions, please contact me

Because Jeff Davis County was established in 1905, the first census available for this county is the 1910 census. 

If you have ancestors from the same area prior to that, check the Appling and Coffee Counties in the 1900 census, and trace farther back.

Please know that people and families were occasionally missed in the census, especially in rural areas.

  I have had that happen in other counties for my own ancestors. 

 

Be sure to look for a variety of spellings as census takers often spelled as they believed it should have been spelled. 

That does not mean it is the way your ancestor spelled it, and spellings evolved over the years.

Also, ages are sometimes slightly incorrect from census to census.

 

The most recent census to be released is the 1950 census. 

 

FamilySearch.org links require an account to view, which is free of charge.
