I find them fascinating to look through. I have fun with the 1880 census which may be searched by occupation in Ancestry.com. I did not find an archivist in 1880, but did find wire walkers, a mineral water manufacturer, and a Capitalist in Davenport. One of my favorites still has to be a young lady in another state whose occupation in 1880 was listed as “Heart Breaking.” Sadly, my occupation will never be that exciting!

This will be my first time to participate as a separate household. I look forward to it! Thank you for the story about the 1890 census.
