Puerto Rico
1910 U.S. Census Records

Transcript Project

Somebody once said to me that the US federal census is the foundation of genealogical research and I agree. Notice that after you interview your closest relatives this is usually the first record type you examine when beginning your family history search. Also, it is the one that continues to be a touchstone as your research progresses.

So to help you out with these censuses, here is what we know:

Puerto Rico became a territory of the United States in 1898 as a result of the Spanish-American War, and in 1899 the US War Ministry conducted a special census. However, the records were destroyed by fire and only the statistical figures survived or so I have been told.

Manuel Badrana, Felix Seijo and Guillermo Riefkohl

1899 Supervisors of Porto Rico Census

(Taken from the Report of the Census of Porto Rico, 1899 by Lt. Col. J.P. Sanger, Inspector General, Washington Govt. Priting Office, 1900)

U.S. Federal Censuses are available at the National Archives, LDS Family History Center's as well as many libraries. For a small fee, you can review them at Ancestry.com and also for a fee, they are commercially available on CD's from various sources. Or you can become a member of this site and peruse our on going project .

Our project is to partially transcribe the Puerto Rico 1910 U.S. Federal Census in a standard format for the benefit of all the genealogical researchers on the Internet.

We say partially because not all fields will be extracted. Only enough information for you to be able to recognize an individual and also be able to easily locate the person on the original document.  In other words, it is a finding tool.

It should not be considered to be proof, or that it is always 100% accurate, or contains all of the information in the actual document.  Once you have found a record of interest, then you should locate the original record to review the rest of the information.

Good Luck!
