US Federal Census of 1790
The First Federal Census was conducted in 1790: Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. Results showed that nine out of ten Americans were engaged in farming and food production.
This researcher has found a particularly useful tool. A booklet was reprinted from A Century of Population Growth, first published by the U S Government Print Office in 1909. It lists all the surnames and their variations, which were represented by at least 100 white persons in the U.S. in 1790. The newer publication lists 5700 surnames, average size of the family, total number of households, total number of members and the breakdown per state. It was released through THE RESEARCHER’S BOOKSHELF, Division of Heritage Quest and is called Surnames Listed in the 1790 United States Census.
Ryerson Index of contemporary death notices and obituaries
Attached are the O’Donoghue (+ variants) extracts from the Ryerson Index of contemporary death notices and obituaries from Australian newspapers (87 newspapers). The site address is: http://www.rootsweb.com/~nswsdps/dpsindex.htm
The attached spreadsheet covers the names available through the "Search the Index" command, which was last updated on 15 January 2003. Later notices are available via the "Browse the Index" command (last updated 14 November 2004), but I have not done this as it would become too confusing. The Ryerson Index home page contains all necessary information on the format of the entries and guidance for where to look next if desired. The red pins indicate that extra information has been added to an entry usually by family historians. There do not seem to be many separate obituary entries and members should be able to search these quite readily using the above link.
Users should be warned that all care is taken with transcription but that the originals should always be checked where possible.
