Livingston County School Census 1910


One Kentucky research resource often neglected is the school census which was required per an act of the state senate approved in 1883.[1] According to the Journal of the Senate, the district trustee  was to visit every school in April each year to take a census of all children who would be between the ages of six and 21 on or before the first day of May and report the names along with their age, sex plus the names of parent or guardian of each child. Failure on the part of the district trustee resulted in a fine of $20.00.

The following African American children were attending school in District B, Education Division No. 5, Livingston County,  Kentucky in 1910. African American and white school census records are in separate volumes, but all volumes are located in the Livingston County clerk's office. In other counties, the records are sometimes found in the school board office.
