Census records can provide personal information about family relationships, age, year of birth, description of property, religion, birthplace, and so forth.

Generally, you will find more complete family information in more recent censuses. Use the information with caution since some information may be incorrect. | Census records can provide personal information about family relationships, age, year of birth, description of property, religion, birthplace, and so forth.
