The 1890 Oklahoma Territory census is one of the few existing state census records in the United States. Nearly all of the records that were sent to Washington D.C. and stored in the Department of Commerce building were destroyed by fire in 1921, before they could be microfilmed for public use.

In June of 1890, Governor George W. Steele, the first territorial governor of Oklahoma, ordered that a census be taken of the territory. He chose June 4 as the starting date, and June 14 as the ending date, and assigned 49 enumerators to do the census-taking. Since the time limit was so short and restrictive, what was submitted is sometimes inconsistent and incomplete. Many enumerators started before June 4th, and some extended the completion as late as June 20th. These records are found to be the most accurate, however.

At that time, the counties of Oklahoma Territory were; Logan, Oklahoma, Cleveland, Canadian, Kingfisher, Payne, and Beaver (the panhandle region). Before the territorial census could be microfilmed and preserved, the records of Twp 14n, Rng 3w, and Twp 14n, Rng 4w were removed, and therefore not included in this census index. This would include the city of Edmond, Oklahoma County. It is not known why these were removed or where they were removed to. Using the WPA card file of Logan, Oklahoma, Cleveland, and Canadian counties in the OHS Research Library, and the Index to the 1890 Oklahoma Territorial Census for the counties of Kingfisher, Payne, and Beaver, we have compiled a complete index of all seven counties.

This index contains 18,753 records for heads-of-household in those seven counties. They are sorted alphabetically by last name and first name, and also list the place of birth, county of residence, and page number in the territorial census on which they are found. Although this census is flawed and confusing, it is in fact one of the few in existence for the census year

1890, and therefore unique. Every attempt was made to be accurate in

copying information from the two sources, and many of the entries were checked on the actual census record for verification.

It is our desire to make this index available to the public by way of on-line access. The records are broken down by first letter of the last name of the family. To navigate the links and open the census index, select the letter you want to search, double-click, and the list of persons with that letter will appear. You will need to scroll down the list of names to find the record of the family you are searching.

We hope that this information is useful and as correct as we can possibly record it. The census microfilm can be found at the OHS Research Library, and we encourage all our patrons to use these records. Research Library hours of operation are: Tuesday through Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:45 p.m., and Monday, 9:00 a.m. to 7:45 p.m. The Research Library is closed on Sunday's and legal state holidays. Copies of microfilm census pages can be made for fifty cents per copy in the reading room of the library. The library staff will be glad to assist you in any way possible.

If you are not able to come to the research library and make your own copies, they are available by research request through the library. Out-of-state requests require a $20 research fee in advance, in-state requests require a $5 advance research fee. There will be an additional fee of $1 per page for census copies to be mailed, plus a nominal postage and handling fee. These will be invoiced at the time of mailing, to be returned by the patron on receipt.

Oklahoma law did not require recording of birth & death records until Oct 1908 when a statewide registration of births and deaths was established BUT generally not complied with until 1930's (when babies started being born in hospitals). Any person born before Oct 1908 in Oklahoma would not have birth certificate available, unless the person requested a "delayed" certificate later.

Although some county records predate 1908, a few as early as 1891, most did not start until after statehood in 1907. The early records, which are quite incomplete, are housed at county courthouses.

>From 1916 through to the present records Vital Records are searched by

>name,

by county, by date of birth. NOTE: Before 1947, all birth records are

filed under the father's name. After 1947, all birth records are filed under the child's name.

Information about the original birth should have been recorded shortly after delivery and filed with the state vital records department and a birth certificate issued. Today many hospitals also provided a certificate of birth.

During WWII it was difficult to get a public job without a birth certificate. Many people who were not issued one at birth applied for a "Delayed Birth Certificate". A delayed birth certificate required documents and/or statements of siblings/relatives confirming date of birth, place of birth and parents names.

Many delayed birth certificates have been granted to people born in the mid to late 1800s seeking Social Security benefits and are filed at the state vital records department.
