== Census ==

The Scottish government began taking censuses of its population in 1841, and every ten years thereafter. The records must be 100 years old before they are released to the public, so the most recent record available is for the 1901 census. <br>Many census records have been indexed by surname. Some indexes cover one parish (and will be listed in the Wiki on the parish page) and some indexes are for the county as a whole.&nbsp;The Family History Libray has&nbsp;county-wide census indexes for&nbsp;Dunbartonshire for [http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titledetails&titleno=1234374&disp=1851+census+index%20%20&columns=*,0,0 1851] and [http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titledetails&titleno=734176&disp=1881+census+of+Scotland+%5Btranscription%20%20&columns=*,0,0 1881].
