Census records from 1850 on can show names of each member of the household, his or her age, state or country of birth, occupation and race. Censuses can also give clues about marital status, marriage dates, death dates, immigration and naturalization information, migration patterns, previous residence, adoptions, and divorces. (See the United States Research Outline for more details.) Censuses for 1840 and earlier list only heads of families. | Census records from 1850 on can show names of each member of the household, his or her age, state or country of birth, occupation and race.

Most families were listed when a census taker made his visits, making these records rich in clues. Other persons in the county with the same surname may be related to each other. Statewide indexes can also help to locate families when only the state where they lived is known.<br> | Most families were listed when a census taker made his visits, making these records rich in clues.

The 1830 through 1870 federal censuses have statewide, head-of-household indexes in book form. These were compiled by various organizations. If an ancestor does not appear in one index, check another for the same year as the handwriting may not have been transcribed correctly. The State Historical Society has individual indexes to each Missouri county for 1840 and 1850.<br> | The 1830 through 1870 federal censuses have statewide, head-of-household indexes in book form.
