Special thanks to Gerald Sherrard of Lakewood, Colorado for his volunteer efforts in developing this site. Deciphering penmanship and typing in some 40,000 names with information was no small task and we would like to commend Mr. Sherrard for his superb effort.

Because the original census was in manuscript and because of the extent of this index, there may be spelling or typographical errors and capitalization inconsistencies. Please check any possible spellings for names. Also, the District/Post Office field is abbreviated.
