1885 Grande Ronde Reservation

This census was difficult to read at many times, the enumerator formed his letters so that they did not resemble what I assume he meant to write down. So Baby becomes Boby and so on. He also seems to leave out letters when spelling names, could be because he couldn't spell, how people said the names or it just was easier to get the basic name down, so from his writing it looks like Heny in what may be Henry. Also some duplicate numbers were used by the enumerator, for what reason I do not know. I have tried to transcribe to the best of my abilities and stayed true the what was put down instead of what I think may be right. Please keep that in mind while looking through the pages. 
 

1886 Grand Ronde Reservation

The headings are as follows:

Indian Name, English name, Relationship, Sex, Age, M & F School children, and remarks. I have kept Indian name off the table because it seems like most don’t include it. If it is written I will mark it in the remark section. I also left out the numbering of the school children. The families are not numbered in the same way the regular census records are. Instead of being broken up into family numbers they are each numbered in order so I have left that out. The only thing that may suggest family groups are spaces between families.  I will record them as they are

1887 Grand Ronde Reservation

The headings include number, Indian Name, English Name, Relation and age. As in the 1886 census they are numbered not by family or house but in order so I am unsure of the family groups. I will be recording the names as are on the original census but will be leaving off the numbering. As far as the spelling of the Indian names I have done the best that I could but some of the pages are fairly light and hard to make out, in fact some of the English names may be wrong as well.

1888 Grand Ronde Reservation

Headings included are Indian Tribe, Name, relation, sex, age and one last category that has to do with school. They also included the property of each family. Most of the families are separated with spaces between each group but have separate property listings, I have made note of that in these cases. Assume last names are the same as head of the family. Many names/tribes are misspelled but I have recorded what was listed in the actual census.

1889 Grand Ronde Reservation

Headings are Indian Name, English Name, Sex, Relation and age. The Indian Name section was never filled out. Each person was numbered individually but not by family so the only way to mark groups was with a space between that follows the original. Most of the last names were marked with " marks but I have filled in the name instead. The total number of people seems to be 374
