As part of the regular enumeration of the population in 1890, a special enumeration, The "Special Schedules of the Eleventh Census (1890) Enumerating Union Veterans and Widows of Union Veterans of the Civil War" (NARA M123) (118 microfilm rolls), was also done of Union veterans and widows.
The [[United States Census Veterans Schedules#1890 Veterans Schedules|1890 Veterans Schedules]] were separate schedules of the 1890 Federal Census that were made of Union Civil War veterans or their widows.
