Monterey, California Census, 1850-60
Description:
Situated in central California south of San Jose, Monterey County was
formed when the territory became a state in 1850. This database is a
collection of state and federal census records from the county in 1850,
1852 and 1860. It also contains state census information for San Diego
County in 1852. Information provided, in addition to the resident's
name, includes age, sex, race, township and post office of current residence,
occupation, and birthplace. To aid the researcher in obtaining the original
document, it includes the page and line number where the entry may be
found. With over 12,000 persons named, this can be a tremendous source
of information to those seeking early California ancestors.
