School Census Data and Transcriptions

We've compiled a lot of School Census data, as listed below. For more information on the transcription process, the locations of these schools, and other information, see the General Comments and Transcriber's Notes.

Note on Twins

These school districts were blessed with 24 sets of twins, but no triplets or better to our knowledge.  This listing is no doubt incomplete since they are derived from school census records between 1923 and consolidation.  Reviewing census records for this purpose would be an enormous undertaking, so this listing will have to suffice for the moment.  Additions and corrections welcomed.

To see the list of twins, go here.
