Chautauqua County, NY

Return to Chautauqua County Gen-Web page.
Return to the 1880 Census main page.

Spellings as listed, May not always be correct.
There are no listings for Asians in 1880 in this county;
There are lisitngs for Mexicans but I think in error, they probably are Mulatto that should be listed as MU.
The MU is also used for Merinos, or Half Breed Indians, as are the Kanistanaux; My family Indians of NY and Ontario.
Other Ethnic Groups are below.
