'''Population Schedules (1790–1930)'''. [[United States Census | '''Population Schedules (1790–1930)'''. [[United States Census|Federal censuses]] from 1790 to 1840 list the names of heads of households but do not give the names of other persons living in the household. Census records from 1850 on show the names of each member of the household and give his or her age, state or country of birth, marital status, occupation, and race. Naturalization and immigration information is included in the 1870, 1900, 1910, 1920 and 1930 censuses. | ||
These records can also give clues to number of years married (1900 to 1910), death dates (in mortality schedules, 1850 to 1880), previous residences, adoptions, and divorces. Parents or other relatives may have been living with a family when a census was taken. Other persons in the county with the same surname may be related. Statewide indexes help locate families when you know only the state where they lived. | These records can also give clues to number of years married (1900 to 1910), death dates (in mortality schedules, 1850 to 1880), previous residences, adoptions, and divorces.
