On the 692 rolls of this microfilm publication, M595, are reproduced Indian census rolls, 1885-1940, with a few later rolls. These census rolls were usually submitted each year by agents or superintendents in charge of Indian reservations as required by an act of Congress of July 4, 1884 (23 Stat. 98) The information given in the rolls varies to some extent; but usually given are the English and/or Indian name of the person, roll number, age or date of birth, sex, and relationship to head of family. Beginning in 1930 the rolls also show the degree of Indian blood, marital status, ward status, place of residence, and sometimes other information. For certain years--usually 1935, 1936, 1938, and 1939--only supplemental rolls of additions and deductions were compiled. The 1931 or 1932 census rolls often include separate lists that recapitulated births and deaths for the years after 1924. There is not a census for every reservation or group of Indians for every year. It was not always possible to take a census on some reservations; and some rolls were lost over the years. Only persons who maintained a formal affiliation with a tribe under Federal supervision are listed on these census rolls.
