Visionary research allows for applications that few people had in mind at the time the research was conducted. When Chen and Fried worked in 1964 through millions of ten-year-old census sheets and produced a book filled on 969 pages only with numbers, who but the researchers might not have thought of a waste of time and money? Fifty years later, using a relational database and an intelligent interface, the data have been digitised by the authors of this paper into a data set, called "thakbong56: The ROC census on Taiwan and Penghu in 1956".The interest in the geographic distribution of names in Taiwan, today, as in 1956, relates on the one hand to the emic use of names as an idealised compass in search for an identity. Through one character, a name suggests to its bearer up to thousands of years of history.Driven by the interest in names as collective traits, Chen and Fried sampled in 1964 one quarter of the 9.311.312 personal census cards of 1956. The cards had been stored after 1956 in 361 packages, lumping village and city communities together into townships and city districts. Data on Kinmen and Mazu are not reported.The administrative classification implied by the physical packages formed the first dimension of the 3-dimensional table that Chen and Fried assembled. The 1027 attested Chinese names formed the second, and the ethno-linguistic classification, which distinguishes Fukien, Kwangtung, Others, Aborigines and Mainlanders, the third. Each of the 1.855.540 table cells reports one quarter of the people with name X, living in 1956 in place Y, and being ethno-linguistically classified as Z. The values of two dimensions, for example, CHEN2 (陳) and Taipei, define a probability distribution for the third dimension, for example, [Fukien: 76 per cent, Kwangtung: 2 per cent, Mainlander: 21 per cent].What is logically a tree-dimensional table is restricted to one of three logically possible views, when printed on paper. The probability distribution for CHEN2 and Kwangtung, for example, is hidden in 361 pages. Thus, not one, but three volumes a 1000 pages would have been required to represent all views. Probably as a compensation, Chen and Fried produced a Volume II that shows in maps the spatial distribution of some names under certain ethno-linguistic parameters.The data itself reflects very much the time in which it has been gathered, the technical approach and the prevailing ideology. The storage of papers after the census caused first the unnecessarily broad administrative classification. Then, in 1964 no computer was used. Inconsistencies showed up during the digitisation in margins and higher level tables and have been silently corrected, assuming the more elementary value to be the correct oneii. Finally, social tensions and strong ideologies in the time of the census left their imprint on the data.First of all, the ethnic classification foresees neither ethnic changes across generations nor mixed ethnic ancestry. In Taiwan, however, Indigenous groups, Holo and Hakka have been constantly crossing ethnic boundaries through adoption, inter-ethnic marriage or acculturation. Second, the language of the people was used as prevailing criterion of the census, and levelled out ethnic variations in a period, the KMT hoped to reconquer the Chinese mainland through the ‘Chinese nation’. Holo-speaking Hakka and Pepo communities have, to different degrees and depending on the local administration, been classified as Fukien, as the comparison with older, Japanese census data shows.

These files include information about population, employment, housing, agriculture, manufacturing, retail, services, trade, banking, Social Security, local governments, school enrollment, hospitals, crime, and income. Parts 82-84 contain data from USA COUNTIES 1998. Due to the large number of variables from this source, the data were divided into into three separate data files. Data include information on population, vital statistics, school enrollment, educational attainment, Social Security, labor force, personal income, poverty, housing, trade, farms, ancestry, commercial banks, and transfer payments. Parts 85-106 provide data from the United States Census of Agriculture for 1910 to 2002. They provide data about the amount, types, and prices of various agricultural products. Also, these datasets contain extensive information on the amount, expenses, sales, values, and production of farms and machinery. (Source: downloaded from ICPSR 7/13/10)

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.This computerised transcription of the census enumerators' books for the 1881 Census for England, Scotland and Wales, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man is a by-product of a project to create a microfiche index of the population of Great Britain for genealogists. Covering the entire enumerated population of England, Scotland and Wales, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man in 1881, it is the largest collection of historical source material to be made available in computerised form. The data consists of the name, address, relationship to the head of household, marital status, age, occupation and birthplace of some 26 million individuals, together with information about disabilities. In 1999 the Genealogical Society of Utah published a version of this computerised transcription as a CD-ROM product suitable for genealogical research (Genealogical Society of Utah (1999) 1881 British census and national index. [25 CDs]. Salt Lake City, Utah: GSU). This study is an enriched version of these data. The sample is a 5 per cent random sample of the parishes of Great Britain. The sample was chosen in the simplest manner possible. A list of all the parishes in England, Wales, Scotland and the Islands in the British Seas was created; using a random number generator in Microsoft Excel, a random number between zero and one was allocated to each parish. All those less than or equal to 0.05 were selected for the sample. The records relating to the individuals in each of these parishes were then extracted from the data and combined in a database. Tables B1 and B3 in Appendix B of the documentation list the 716 parishes in the sample. Main Topics: Main variables PRO reference; piece number; folio number; page number; county; parish; address; surname; first name; relationship to head of household; marital status; gender; age; occupation; place of birth; disabilities.

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner. The aim of this project was to analyse population, economy and social and family structure in mid-19th century Hertfordshire, in comparative perspective. The 1851 census was the first to provide details of both county and town or parish of birth of each individual, whilst clearer instructions were provided for the recording of occupations, the work of members of the head's family and for recording details of farm size and agricultural labour force. There is therefore a wealth of economic, social and demographic information contained in the 1851 census, whilst its consistent and highly structured format renders it ideally suited to treatment by database management systems. Main Topics: The dataset includes a full transcription of the Census Enumerators' Books for Berkhamsted Superintendent Registrar's District in Hertfordshire, enhanced with occupational codings. Variables in the dataset include : record number, surname, forename, schedule number, address, relation to head of household, marital status, age, gender, occupation, social status code, Booth/Armstrong occupational code, raw material occupational code, product occupational code, county of birth, place of birth, disabilities, enumeration district, parish/sub-parish unit, date, PRO reference, ages under one year.

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner. This study arose out of the Kingston Local History Project. The purpose of this project is to construct a database detailing major aspects of Kingston's economic and social evolution during the second half of the nineteenth century. The study contains complete census enumerator' books for the census years 1851, 1861, 1871, 1891. Main Topics: With one or two slight variations from census to census, the subject content of this data collection was virtually the same for each of the census years 1851, 1861, 1871 and 1891. Covering the census area of Kingston upon Thames (including Kingston, Surbiton, New Malden, Ham, Hook and Chessington) the census enumerators' returns provide the following information on all individuals within all households on census night: address; forename and surname of each individual; relationship to head of household; marital status; age; sex; rank, profession or occupation; where born; and disability. The data collection also contains details of where each individual appears in the census returns by giving the number of the enumeration district, the page number in the census returns and the line number of the page.
