Census Records

The easiest, fastest and most rewarding method of searching census records is through an internet source. Some of the most widely used are::

FamilySearch - free
Ancestry - available by paid subscription and sometimes available through your local library
HeritageQuest - available by paid subscription and sometimes available through your local library
US National Archives (NARA) - free

Microfilms can still be used to search census records. Below are film number series at the National Archives:

Census	NARA Microfilm #
1800	M32-44
1810	M252-53
1820	M33-113
1830	M19-165
1840	M704-500
1850	M432-832
1860	M653-1190
1870	M593-1461
1880	T9-1200
1900	T623-1492
1910	T624-1424 + T624-1426
1920	T625-1657
1930	T626-2153 + T626-2154

1800 and before - Look for "People Lists"

While these are not census records, other lists containing names of people can be used as "alternative census" substitutes. Look for Tax Schedules and Land Company record books.
