A statistical distribution is given for members of each family by race (including a distinction between free and slave Negroes), sex, and age group. Alongside the name of each head of a family certain statistical information is recorded in the vertical columns running from left to right across a schedule. The only names, therefore, that appear in the schedules are of heads of families or of persons who were not enumerated within a family or household unit. Because printed forms were not generally used, all or part of the schedules of some localities carry less than the prescribed 32 columns. This apparently occurred in instances where no enumeration was made of persons belonging to groups ordinarily listed under these missing columns, or where the number of persons belonging to these groups was so small that they were listed numerically or by name at the end of the schedules of the locality in which they were enumerated. Column headings generally do not appear on the schedules themselves but are found at frequent intervals in a volume, usually at the beginning or end of the schedules of a subdivision. Occasionally affidavits attesting to the posting of the returns have been inscribed on or attached to the schedules, and these affidavits have been photographed as they occurring the volumes. Blank pages and occasional manufacturing schedules, inadvertently bound in the volumes, have not been photographed. Although more than one set of numbers often appears on the schedules, the system of numbering, whether stamped or written, followed in preparing a table of contents for any particular volume is generally that which (1) runs consecutively from beginning to the end of the volume, and (2) appears to be consistent with the numbering in other volumes for the same State. Occasionally a schedule is unnumbered. These schedules are part of a body of records in the National Archives designated as Record Group 29, Records of the Bureau of the Census.
