On the 1910 census in column 30 is a question to determine who are the
survivors of the War Between the States. From another web site the question being
given by the census taker and his response was as follows -

"SURVIVOR OF UNION or CONFEDERATE ARMY OR NAVY (30)
Whether a survivor of the Union or Confederate Army or Navy --- The actual
instructions given to the enumerators:  Write "UA" if a survivor of the Union
Army, "UN" if a survivor of the Union Navy, "CA" if a survivor of the
Confederate Army, and "CN" if a survivor of the confederate Navy.  For all other persons
leave the column blank."

When I was researching an ancestor in the 1910 census for Richmond [Clay
Ward/part 9, Enumeration District #65, sheet 7], the ancestor - Pollard, John - is
shown having the number 4 in that column. Others on that same sheet have
numbers ranging from 0 to 9.

Did Virginia have a different code system to note the Confederate and Union
veterans and their branch of service?

With my most kind regards,
Mike W.
