Interesting tip to think about when viewing the 1930 census.

Native American information can be found in the 1930 U.S. Federal Census – Column 19 will provide the person’s degree of Indian blood, column 20 will provide the person’s tribal affiliation. Per ‘family tree magazine’, December 2017, p. 30

Example: 1930 US Federal Census, New Mexico, Valencia County, Laguna Indian Reservation, Enumeration District 40, image #3.

Lorenzo Juanico b. in New Mexico, is ‘Full Blood’, and his tribal affiliation is Laguna Pueblo.
