==Online State and Territorial Censuses==
{| class="FCK__ShowTableBorders" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" width="745"
State censuses are census records that were taken at the state-level rather than at the federal. Often, but not always, a state took their census in ten year increments 5 years from when the Federal Census was taken, such as 1885. State censuses can even serve as substitutes for missing federal censuses. For more information on state censuses, visit [https://www.census.gov/history/www/genealogy/other_resources/state_censuses.html United States Census Bureau].<br><br>
|+ Indian Census Rolls
Territorial censuses were taken by the federal government to count the population in federal territories. The government needed to count the population in the territory to see if it could qualify for statehood. For more information on territorial censuses, visit the [[United States Census Territorial|US Territorial Census page]].<br><br>

==Why Use the Census?==
=== Existing and lost censuses  ===
State census records can be one of the easiest ways to locate where an ancestor's family lived and when they lived there. Information varies based on year and location, but information that may be included in a census can include:
 
*Name of each person in the family at the time the census was taken
For a list of available and missing South Dakota censuses, [[South Dakota Censuses Existing and Lost|click here]]. <br>
*Street or Avenue, or number Rural Free Delivery
 
*Sex
=== Why use a census? ===
*Age
 
*Color
A well-indexed census is one of the easiest ways to locate where an ancestor's family lived and when they lived there. You can also use censuses to follow the changes in a family over time, and identify neighbors. These and other clues provided by censuses are important because they help find additional kinds of records about the family.
*Nativity
 
*Place of birth of this person
=== More about censuses  ===
