New Footnote.com content - Indian Census Rolls & more Civil War data!

Footnote.com has just added some really great information, including Civil War Widow's pensions (as well as a whole lot of other Civil War data), some more City Directories, and the Indian Census rolls from 1885-1940. If you don't have a subscription, remember you can currently access Footnote.com for free at any LDS Family History Center.

This is what they say about the Indian Census Rolls:

Indian Census Rolls, 1885-1940:

Most rolls include the English and/or Indian name of the person, roll number, age or date of birth, sex, and relationship to head of family. Beginning in 1930 the rolls also show the degree of Indian blood, marital status, ward status, place of residence, and sometimes other information. Only persons who maintained a formal affiliation with a tribe under Federal supervision are listed on these census rolls.
