Madison
Parish Louisiana - Fifteenth Census: 1930
Submitted
by Richard P. Sevier dicksevier@comcast.net
The 1930
census images are stored two images per page shown (1) by the page number -
right hand (front) page and (2) by the page number followed by a "b"
which is actually the reverse side of the previous right-hand page. If you
haven’t already done so, locate the person in question on the 1930
Census Index. Then go to the page listed. If the person is not listed on
that page, go to the other image on that page (e.g. 107 to 107a.) To enlarge
the image click on the enlargement button or right-click the image and “zoom
in.” NOTE: These are reproductions of the actual census ledgers and vary in
quality from very poor to very good. Because of the poor quality, many of the
names are misspelled. If the person for whom you are searching does not appear
to be in the index, try other possible spellings.
The fifteenth
census of the United States lists information that should reflect living status
on April 1, 1930 (Census Day). The 1930 census was indexed using a Soundex
system, although the index mentioned above is not Soundex..
