1998 by Jack Murray:
====================
Transcriber's Note: The Idaho Territorial Census Schedules were abstracted
from the National Archives Micro-copy T-8, Roll No. 48. There are a large
number of Chinese in the original Idaho Census who were only working
visitors, and due to the similarity of their names, it is doubtful that
this information would be of use to the genealogist. They have been omitted
from this volume except when they are listed as part of another household
or born in the United States. In addition columns 14 thru 20, born within
a year, married within a year, can't read, can't write,
deaf/dumb/blind/insane, male citizen 21, and male citizen vote denied, are
omitted, as they provide little information to the genealogist.

This film was not in sequence, as I think Mr Clyde Fitzjames went place to
place to find the miners, then came back to get the ones he missed, so the
film might have 2 Placervilles, 2 Rocky Bars, then some Altanta, then some
more Rocky Bar etc. Also the film taker did 2 duplicates which I have
identified.


2004 by Maggie Stewart:
=======================
(1) There were two enumerators for this census
and the page & sheet numbers are all mixed 
up.  The census will be compiled using the 
page numbers by enumerator for continuity 
but the original sheet numbers have been 
retained.

(2) The Family Numbers are sometimes there
and sometimes not.  They are as they 
appeared in the enumeration.
