==== Federal Census Records ====
Federal Censuses were taken for the state of Nevada starting in 1870. In 1850, Nevada was a part of New Mexico and Utah Territories but had not been divided into counties. Those living there may be in the Utah 1851 Census. For 1860, parts of Nevada were enumerated in Utah Territory and New Mexico Territory. <ref>William Thorndale and William Dollarhide, Map Guide to the U.S. Federal Censuses (Bountiful, UT: American Genealogical Lending Library, 1985), page ?</ref> For links to Federal census indexes, see [[Nevada Census]].
