SPECIAL SCHEDULES OF THE ELEVENTH CENSUS
(1890) ENUMERATING UNION VETERANS AND
WIDOWS OF UNION VETERANS OF THE CIVIL WAR
M123. 118 rolls

An act of March 1, 1899, provided that the eleventh cen-
sus should "cause to be taken on a special schedule of
inquiry, according to such form as he may prescribe, the
names, organizations, and length of service of those who
had served in the Army, Navy, or Marine Corps of the
United States in the war of the rebellion, and who are sur-
vivors at the time of said inquiry, and the widows of sol-
diers, sailors, or marines." Each schedule requested the
following information: name of the veteran (or if he did
not survive, the names of both the widow and her
deceased husband): the veteran's rank, company, regiment
or vessel, date of enlistment, date of discharge, and
length of service in years, months, and days; post office
and address of each person listed; disability incurred by
the veteran; and remarks necessary to a complete state-
ment of his term of service. Practically all of the schedules
for the states Alabama through Kansas and approximately
half of those for Kentucky appear to have been destroyed,
possibly by fire, before the transfer of the remaining
schedules to the National Archives in 1943.

The surviving Kentucky records, and the records for the remaining states (Louisiana through Wyoming), and the District of Columbia, are available on 118 reels or microfilm at the National Archives.
