AF-1053: Fire, Conspiracy, and the Lost 1890 Census: What Went Wrong?


If you’ve ever traced your family history, you’ve probably encountered a frustrating gap in the records: the missing 1890 Census. Unlike other census years, which provide a continuous timeline of American households, the 1890 records are nearly nonexistent. For genealogists, it’s a black hole—a crucial historical moment that has disappeared.

So, what happened? Was it just an accident? Could there have been something within those records that someone wanted erased? And why does Warren G. Harding’s name get caught up in the mystery?
