The Mortality Schedules - In 1850, 1860, 1870, and 1880 census enumerators were directed to secure in addition to the usually
required census data, information as to all persons dying within the 12 months preceding the census taking. These lists became
known as the "Mortality Schedules". See this great article: Stories in U.S. Mortality Schedules
for more information.
The mortality schedules usually included the date and cause of death. Some online transcriptions do not include all data found
on the original mortality schedule images. Hundreds of counties have been transcribed and and placed online.
MortalitySchedules.com has sought these transcriptions out and have listed them here. The search box below can be used to
perform a search. A more complete fee-based mortality schedules search can be made at Ancestry.com at this location.
