State, territorial, and colonial censuses
New Hampshire took early listing of individuals that will help locate family members. The responses and years of coverage may give additional information on the family.
- Census of New Hampshire, for the years 1767-1775 FHL US/CAN Film 983687
- 1776 State census of men over age 21 who declared their Revolutionary War position. Jay Mack Holbrook compiled the New Hampshire 1776 Census, which lists name, town and county of residence, whether for or against the Revolutionary War, and page number. The page number refers to theNew Hampshire Provincial and State Papers, volume 30, which is available online through www.ancestry.com at familysearch centers.[8]

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.
