1900 Census for the Nebraska Soldiers and Sailors Home

The Nebraska Soldiers and Sailors Home is now the Grand Island Veterans’ Home, a long-term care facility in Grand Island, Nebraska for eligible Nebraska veterans, their spouses, and Gold Star parents. Established in the late 19th century, it was originally an “Old Soldiers’ Home” for veterans, but since has evolved into the state’s primary veterans’ home, offering various levels of care and services.

This 1900 census transcription provides the key information needed to locate an ancestor in the Home, while keeping the table narrow enough to fit a standard desktop or laptop screen. Each entry includes the census page number, which matches the image pages in the gallery at the bottom of the page. Recorded details include birth date, age, birthplace, and the birthplaces of both parents.

Additional information drawn from the original census images includes: sex, race, number of children born and still living (for females), year of immigration, years in the United States, and naturalization year. Occupation before entering the Home is also listed, along with literacy (read, write, speak English), housing status (owned or rented, farm or house), and whether the property was mortgaged.

H=Head; W=Wife; S=Son; D=Daughter; Adop=Adopted; I=Inmate (of the Home);
IR=Ireland; ST=Scotland; GR=Germany; CE=Canada England; CF=Canada French;
EG=England; SW=Switzerland; DK=Denmark; HO=Holland; FR=France; UN=Unknown
