===Existing and Lost Censuses===
*[[Nebraska Censuses Existing and Lost|List of existing and lost federal censuses for Nebraska]]


In '''1860''', Nebraska Territory encompassed most of present-day Nebraska and parts of the present-day states of Wyoming, Montana, North and South Dakota, and Colorado.  
==Online State and Territorial Censuses==
 
State censuses are census records that were taken at the state-level rather than at the federal. Often, but not always, a state took their census in ten year increments 5 years from when the Federal Census was taken, such as 1885. State censuses can even serve as substitutes for missing federal censuses. For more information on state censuses, visit [https://www.census.gov/history/www/genealogy/other_resources/state_censuses.html United States Census Bureau].<br><br>
=== Indexes: fiche, film, or book  ===
Territorial censuses were taken by the federal government to count the population in federal territories. The government needed to count the population in the territory to see if it could qualify for statehood. For more information on territorial censuses, visit the [[United States Census Territorial|US Territorial Census page]].<br><br>

==Why Use the Census?==
 
State census records can be one of the easiest ways to locate where an ancestor's family lived and when they lived there. Information varies based on year and location, but information that may be included in a census can include:  
Mortality schedules for 1860, 1870, 1880, and 1885 are also located at the Nebraska State Historical Society at [http://www.nebraskahistory.org/ http://www.nebraskahistory.org/].
*Name of each person in the family at the time the census was taken
 
*Street or Avenue, or number Rural Free Delivery
=== Indexes: fiche, film, or book  ===
*Sex
 
*Age
For a list of microform and book indexes for the non-population schedules of Nebraska, [[Nebraska Non-Population Schedule Indexes: Fiche, Film, or Book|click here]].
*Color
 
*Nativity
=== State and territorial censuses  ===
*Place of birth of this person
 
*Place of birth of Father of this person
Nebraska often took censuses in the years between the federal censuses, the dates are listed below. State census records may have columns that were different or more unusual than those found on federal censuses. The responses and years of coverage may give additional information on the family.  
*Place of birth of Mother of this person
 
*Period of Residence
*'''1917 '''Counties: Cass <ref name="npcr" />
*How long a resident of this State (years and months)

*'''1913-1914''' A detailed census of [[Germans from Russia|German immigrants from Russia living]] in Lincoln was taken for Nebraska. The information is similar to that found in the 1900 census, but the town or colony of birth is also given. It is arranged by street. (Family History Library film 833157.)
*'''1885''' The Federal Government took a special census of Nebraska, which is on 56 microfilms at the Family History Library and at the Nebraska State Historical Society. The society also has the state ''Gazetteer and Business Directory for 1886'' and a card index made from the directory that provides a partial index to the census. The Family History Library does not have the directory or the card index.
*The '''1854, 1855, and 1856''' Nebraska territorial censuses have been transcribed, indexed, and published in: Cox, Eunice Evelyn. ''1854, 1855, 1856 Nebraska Territory Censuses''. Ellensburg, Washington: Cox, 1977. (Family History Library {{FHL|183518|title-id|disp=book 978.2 X2p 1854-1856; film 1036024 item 2; fiche 6051283}}.)  
*'''1854, 1855, 1856, 1865, and 1869''' Territorial and state censuses exist for parts of Nebraska. The county enumerations of several eastern Nebraska counties, were published in:[http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ne/topic/resources/OLLibrary/Journals/NMGR/censindx.html ''The Nebraska and Midwest Genealogical Record'', vols. 13-22, 1932-44] (Family History Library film 162018).&nbsp;The State Archives at the Nebraska State Historical Society has a card index for the 1865 and 1869 censuses. The existing records are at the Nebraska State Historical Society.

=== 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.
