== Census == | |||
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. The Family History Library has county-wide census placename indexes for Caithness for {{FHL|709732|title-id|disp=1881}}. Click [[Caithness Census Surname Index|here for]] other census indexes available at the library. | |||
