Abstract

This article reports on one system for using relational databases to manage a large historical data collection project. It endorses the use of relational database systems for large linked databases. This system incorporates a number of files some of them containing data and others containing cross-references between files. Data concerning the residents of Gillespie County Texas from the censuses of 1850 1860 1870 1800 1900 and 1910 are linked and used to compile complete life histories of individuals. (EXCERPT)
