Abstract
This article demonstrates the use of stratified and cluster sampling to draw an efficient sample from the United States Census Archives for California in 1880. This is a useful exercise for courses in research design and also provides an efficient method to take samples for historical research. With relatively small effort spent on data collection and data entry, useful knowledge about California in 1880 was acquired pertaining to marriage patterns, migration patterns, occupational status, and categories of race and ethnicity.
