Enumerator's Instructions What constitutes a
family? A dwelling? How did enumerators usually fill in
the column for race for African Americans? How were children
listed? Enumerators had very specific instructions and
guidelines for filling out their forms. Reading over the
original instructions given to the people who actually went
door-to-door, asked the questions, and filled in the forms will help
you understand more about the results.
