Yap[edit | edit source]

Jane Underwood Yap Population Cards

  • Census created in 1965 by anthropologist Jane Underwood, in English
  • Cards filed by municipality at the Richard Flores Taitano Micronesia Area Research Center, University of Guam, Mangliao, Guam (filesare a little jumbled, be patient)
  • Some name variation so be creative
  • Cards contain information for individual subject plus children, parents, siblings, and grandparents
  • Back bottom of each card has a reference to the 1946 census of Yap if individual is included in that census
  • Partial digital index of birth dates and names (Excell spreadsheet, search using Ctrl+F) on Barrigada FHC computers. CD in Family Search Support Office, Barrigada, Guam.

1946 Yap Census

  • Photocopy of census cards created between 1946-1948, in Yapese (translation of census form in cabinet)
  • Organized by municipality and village in file cabinet at Micronesia Area Research Center (list of villages in cabinet)
  • Japanese Imperial dates used (conversion chart in filing
cabinet).
  • Very useful in combination with Jane Underwood census
