Tips If at first you don't find a name, try again under another spelling. Photocopy each ancestor's census. Identify where you found it. Look for an ancestor in every census during her or his lifetime. On the family group record show each person's census listings.

Why use a census?

A well-indexed census is one of the easiest ways to locate where an ancestor's family lived and when they lived there. You can also use censuses to follow the changes in a family over time, and identify neighbors. These and other clues provided by censuses are important because they help find additional kinds of records about the family.
