 | | On January 10, 1921, a fire in the Commerce Department building, Washington, DC, resulted in the destruction of most of the 1890 census, to the woe of researchers ever since. |
 | | Some fragments of the 1890 census did survive, however, and they are very useful to researchers. |
 | | The "1890 List" in this microfilm publication is a roughly alphabetical list of 454 African Americans, noting for each: surname, first name, 1890 Enumeration District (ED) number, 1890 ED description, and occupation. |
