Muscatine County Iowa 1905 Iowa State Census

This State census gathered information about its inhabitants for statistical analysis. Its findings were published in January, 1906. Questions were asked as to color, place of birth, naturalization, years in the United States, years in Iowa, conjugal condition, school attendance, literacy, occupation and military service of each person enumerated. Their answers were recorded on numbered cards.

County Registers of townships and towns provided an index by card number with the persons’ name and their post office address. These Registers may be found today on microfilm. The whereabouts of the original cards are unknown. Since these Registers do not have page numbers, we have noted the microfilm image sequence of the pages.
