These records are intended as a guide to assist you in finding your Tatum ancestors.  Census records are subject to transcription errors, illegible handwriting and unreadable microfilm.  Attempts have been made to include spellings in indexes that may be Tatum family members and are not recorded as such. You should view the microfilm record to verify any information on this page. 

If your ancestor is not included in a record here, it does not mean your ancestor is not in the census.  It may simply mean that their names are written in an indecipherable manner or have been missed in the transcription process.

With time this will include the actual records from the census but at the moment parts are only an index.  If you have trancribed the records from the censuses for your family and would share those to save library time, I would appreciate the assistance.
