Advice for categorization of Holland-457?

+2 votes
95 views

I would like advice or may need help creating a new category for the profile of Sarah Catherine (Holland) Adams. The category might be named something like 1850_US_Census_Gaston_County_North_Carolina , 1860_US_Census_Gaston_County_North_Carolina and even 1850_US_Census_Catawba_County_North_Carolina?

These are just a few I keep forgetting to propose that I frequently have for my NC ancestors. Gaston Co. was formed from Lincoln in 1846 and Catawba was formed in 1842 from Lincoln County. I don't know how often other members use these categories but I've felt if the other counties have categories it would be fair and applicable to have them for these two as well. Please let me know if I am overlooking the obvious here and as always I am appreciative of amy assistance. (P.S. still working only from my smart phone thus no ability to copy and paste pages here)

Could I get help creating the new category? Or is there an existing category to use? 

  Cheers! Becky Elizabeth Simmons

Hi Becky. In 2021 a moratorium was placed on adding new US census categories:

However, there is doubt whether the moratorium is still in place in practice: see
