The earliest censuses [sčítání lidu] were simply head counts taken for taxation purposes. The first census to record people by name was conducted in 1651. Summaries remain of a 1702 count of all people over the age of 10. Censuses were carried out in 1754, 1762, 1770, and 1776. The first true census was conducted in 1857. Afterward, censuses were taken in 1869, 1880, 1890, 1900, 1910, 1921, 1930, 1940, 1950, 1961, 1970, 1980, 1991, and 2001. Beginning in 1724 a census of Jews was periodically taken. Some census returns, including those for the 1651 census, are kept in the archives. Unfortunately, most census returns, which included lists of inhabitants, have been lost. In most cases, only summary information from the censuses is available. Generally, archival researchers will not consult census records. Some census returns have been published: | |||
