The 1870 Census’ population estimate is controversial, as many believed it underestimated the true population numbers, especially in New York and Pennsylvania.Federal census takers were asked to record information about every person who was in each household on the census day. A census taker might have visited a house on a later date, but the information hecollected was supposed to be about the people who were in the house on the census day.

• Source: S58 1880 United States Federal Census Publication: MyHeritage The 1880 census contains records of families living in the United States and its territories during the latter half of the Great Westward Migration. Thirty-eight states were included in the 1880 census, plus the territories of: Arizona, Dakota, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. Non-organized Alaska was also enumerated, but the "Indian Territory" (now Oklahoma) was not enumerated for non-Indians. Federal census takers were asked to record information about every person who was in each household on the census day.
