While doing some work on the One Place Study I am doing for the neighborhood I grew up in I decided to start looking for when the first non European person moved into the neighborhood. From that I decided to start compiling census records and city directory entries that note a person who is not European. I’m making them available here so that others may be able to find their ancestors easier. So far I have found Black Americans, Chinese Americans, and at least one Native American.
I will be updating this continually. If you happen to find someone not listed on my sheets who should be there, please let me know.
