'''1810–1850; 1870; [***other years]:''' Indexed online at [http://www.heritagequestonline.com www.heritagequestonline.com].
 
&nbsp;
 
==== Book  ====
 
Statewide book indexes exist for Tennessee for the following years:
 
'''1810–1840:''' The&nbsp;books&nbsp;index&nbsp;the head of&nbsp;each household.
 
'''1850–1890, 1910:''' Books usually&nbsp;index the first person listed in the census—usually the father or head of the house. The Indexes also include the first person by any other surname listed in the household.
 
'''County indexes:''' Do a '''Place Search''' for for the county&nbsp;in the Family History Library Catalog, and choose from selections under '''Census'''.

==== Soundex  ====
 
There is a [[Soundex|SOUNDEX]] (phonetic) index on microfilm for part of the 1880 census and all of the 1900, 1910, 1920, and 1930 censuses.
 
The 1910 Soundex is in two parts: 1 -&nbsp;Cities (Chattanooga, Knoxville, Memphis, and Nashville) and 2 - The rest of the state.&nbsp;Search both soundexes, if not found in the one you expected.
 
==== Research Aids<br> ====
 
'''Maps''' show the many boundary changes over the years. One publication that shows counties as they existed when Federal censuses were taken is:
 
*Thorndale and Dollarhide’s [http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titledetails&titleno=545087&disp=Map+guide+to+the+U%2ES%2E+Federal+census%20%20&columns=*,0,0 Map Guide to the U.S. Federal Censuses, 1790–1920]. Tennessee is represented on pages 314–325.
 
== Special Censuses  ==
 
In addition to the "population schedules," the Federal government took other schedules, sometimes called "non-population schedules." These include:<br>
 
'''Agricultural schedules: '''Few are at the Family History Library, with the following exception:
 
*Marshall County, Tennessee Agricultural schedule, 1857. Nashville, Tennessee: State Library and Archives (Family History Library film [http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titlefilmnotes&columns=*%2C0%2C0&titleno=200055&disp=Marshall+County%2C+Tennessee+agricultura++ 977522]). This record is arranged by districts within Marshall County and then alphabetically by surname.
 
==== Slave Holder Schedules ====
 
'''1850 United States Census Slave Schedules'''—A free Internet index and images to the 1850 United States Census Slave Schedules can be viewed on the [http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#c=1420440;p=collectionDetails;t=searchable FamilySearch Record Search – Pilot Site] listing each '''slave owner's''' name and residence. It also shows the age, gender, and color of the slaves. Slave names are not normally listed.
 
'''Slave schedules:''' Taken with&nbsp;the 1850 and 1860 censuses, list the names of slave owners but seldom list the names of the slaves. The numbers of slaves, whether male or female, and the slaves’ age-ranges are given. Tennessee slave schedules at the Family History Library are cataloged with the population schedules.
 
Slaves who died during the twelve months before the 1850 and 1860 censuses were taken (30 June 1850 and 30 June 1860) are included in the mortality schedules.
 
'''Mortality Schedules (1850–1880):''' Mortality schedules list persons who died during the twelve months before the 1850–1880 Federal censuses were taken.
 
They provide&nbsp;the month and cause of death and the number of days ill for each deceased person, in addition to the same information&nbsp;provided in&nbsp;the regular census schedules&nbsp;for the living. The Tennessee State Archives has these schedules, and the Family History Library has copies:
 
*United States. Bureau of the Census. Federal Mortality Census Schedules and Related Indexes: Tennessee; 1850–1860
*Tennessee Mortality Schedules. Nashville, Tennessee: Byron Sistler and Associates, 1984.

This record covers the census years 1850–1860 and 1880 in a combined format.

'''1850 United States Census Mortality Schedules'''—A free Internet index and images to the 1850 United States Census Mortality Schedules can be viewed on the [http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=collectionDetails;t=searchable;c=1420441 FamilySearch Record Search - Pilot Site]. Mortality schedules provided nationwide death statistics for the twelve months&nbsp;prior to the 1850 census.&nbsp; Key genealogical facts found on the 1850 mortality&nbsp;schedule are: Name, age, sex, color, married or widowed, birthplace, month of death, occupation, cause of death.
 
'''Veterans Schedules (1840 and 1890):''' The 1840 Federal Census included a list of Revolutionary War veterans, and the 1890 census included&nbsp;Civil War veterans. A book with the actual 1840 census information is:
 
*A Census of Pensioners for Revolutionary or Military Service: With Their Names, Ages, and Places of Residence, as Returned by the Marshals of the Several Judicial Districts, Under the Act for Taking the Sixth Census. Washington DC: Printed by Blair and Rives, 1841.

The following indexes these veterans for all states:

== State Censuses  ==
 
At times the state, county, or city may have a census taken for various reasons. The Family History Library has copies of a few censuses taken in Tennessee:
 
*Reed, Sue S. Enumeration of Male Inhabitants of Twenty-one Years of Age and Upward, Citizens of Tennessee, January 1, 1891, as Provided for by an Act of General Assembly of Tennessee, Passed January 15, 1891, and Approved January 22, 1891. Houston, Texas: S.S. Reed, 1989. (Family History Library book [http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titledetails&titleno=461479&disp=Enumeration+of+male+inhabitants+of+twent%20%20&columns=*,0,0 976.8 X2r] 1891). Each of the eight volumes in the record is individually indexed for the counties listed. All counties not included in this work are on microfilm at the Tennessee State Library and Archives.
*Memphis, Tennessee Census, 1869 (3rd Ward), 1897. Nashville, Tennessee: Tennessee State Library and Archives (Family History Library film [http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=filmhitlist&columns=*%2C0%2C0&filmno=375237 375237 item 3: contains 1869, item 6: contains 1897]).
 
== Territorial Censuses  ==
 
None exist, since Tennessee was included in North Carolina until 1790 and was never a territory.

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.
