A census is a count and description of the population of a country, territory, state, county, or city. A well-indexed census is one of the easiest ways to locate the specific places your ancestors lived and to identify the dates they lived there. You can also find excellent family information, particularly in more recent censuses. Use the censuses with caution, however, since the information may have been given to a census taker by any member of the family or by a neighbor. | A census is a count and description of the population of a country, territory, state, county, or city.

'''1890 Veterans Census Substitute'''. The 1890 federal census and veterans schedules of Indiana were destroyed. As a substitute for the 1890 census, use the military enrollment records made in 1886, 1890, and 1894 by the county assessor of each township. The assessor made a record of veterans who served in the War of 1812, the Civil War, and other wars, or their widows or orphans who were residing in Indiana at the time of enrollment. These enrollments and an index to these records are described in the War of 1812 portion of the "[[Indiana Military Records|Military Records]]" section in this outline. See also the listing for tax records in the "[[Indiana Taxation|Taxation]]" section of this outline. | '''1890 Veterans Census Substitute'''.
