Ready to use the censuses for your genealogy research? This book can help keep that searching become organized. Here, you'll find a start guide to the U.S. Federal Censuses - why do we even have a census (Chapter 1)? Lucky for us genealogists and researchers, the census began in 1790, which turns out to provide us with information about our ancestors. And for some, this might be the only paper trail we can find. This publication also provides some explanations for some of the columns found on the censuses (Chapters 2 and 3). For instance, do you know what the x in a circle by someone's name means? Read Chapter 2 to find out. Included are some tips and guidelines on where to find censuses for free and well as some paid websites (Chapters 4 and 5). Chapter 6 guides you on finding your ancestors in the censuses and includes a discussion of the soundex, which is how I was able to find my ancestors whose surname was spelled eight different times from 1790 to 1940! The census does provide some uses other than locating an ancestor family in a specific location and time. Chapter 7 guides you to really look at the other columns - what's the information telling you, or not telling you? Ever wondered where to find the enumeration districts? In Chapter 8, you'll find out how to locate those and why you would want to even know about these. Have you tried to write a sketch of an ancestor using only the census records? Chapter 9 provides some guidelines and an example on how to get started with writing about an ancestor, with only the censuses. You never know what can come to light while doing this exercise. This book ends with a couple of matrices - one for the censuses (what's in each census) and one for sources (free and paid) to find census records. This book is meant to be a start to learning and researching the U.S. census records. This is a jumping off point to your genealogy and family history. I hope you enjoy this journey of going through the census records!
