The US federal census is gone, meaning it is not available for modern genealogists to use. Its loss in a fire in the 1930s was a huge loss to genealogy. Yet, there are ways around the twenty-year gap in information its absence left. Land records are one of those ways. This is what they are, where to find them, and how to use them.

The 1890 US federal census is not available for genealogists to use, thanks to it being destroyed in a fire in the 1930s. This does not mean that all useful genealogical information between the 1880 and 1900 censuses is lost. There are a lot of alternate records genealogists can use to bridge the gap. Maps are one of them. This is how to use them to improve your 1890s genealogy research.

Most genealogists know the 1890 US federal census is gone. It leaves a large gap in the genealogical record, which can make it challenging to fill in the information on your family tree, or connect the 1890 generation to the one before it.

The 1890 US federal census is missing. There's nothing we can do about that. There is, though, a way we can still find information on our relatives from this time period, even without it.
