The Family History Library has 110 volumes of these censuses and the index on microfilm. A {{FHL|277080|title-id|disp=paper copy of the index}} is available at the Family History Library. The index is divided into districts. The districts that are grouped together are not always from the same state. All localities are listed under the district. The index does not include the census year. However, the information in the index will lead you to the volume and page of the locality you want.
