When you take a closer look at the numbers however, it's not as bleak as it looks. The census for 1890 was lost - some 5.5 million names, and the population numbers for the years 1890 - 1920 represent 28 million names. My index is more heavily weighted towards the earlier years and contains a statistically negligible number of names from the later (1890 - 1920) years.
The aggregate number of people who lived in PA prior to 1880 (inclusive) was 19.5 million. Using this number as a basis, my CD contains approx. 12% of the names. One of the reasons for this is that the census prior to 1850 contains only the names of the head of households. For 1830 for instance, the Census Bureau, puts the total population of PA at 1.5 million, but the heads of households were only 400,000. Those other 1.1 million people's names can only be derived from other records. Another reason is that I have purged duplicate records. If there are 25 John Smiths in the same county in the same census year, the name only appears once.
Bottom line, as Mark Twain once said, "There's lies, damn lies and statistics." My index contains 2.2 million names (or so) across all years from 1790 - 1920 with a cross section of the entire state and all years represented.
