| ==Online Federal Censuses==
| | Many of the federal census records are found at the Family History Library, the National Archives, and other federal and state archives. The [[United States Census Online|"Census"]] section of the United States Research Outline provides more detailed information regarding these federal records. |
| ===Population Schedules===
| |
| Starting in 1790, federal population schedules were taken every 10 years in the United States. [[United States Census|'''Click here for more information''']] about federal census records. <br><br>
| |
| Oklahoma was admitted to the United States as the 46th state on 16 Nov 1907. So in the 1900 Census, it would be listed as Oklahoma Territory.

| | The earliest federal census of the area that is now Oklahoma is the 1860 census of Arkansas, which included what was then the Indian Territory. This census does not list Indians, but lists free and slave inhabitants in the Cherokee, Choctaw, Creek, and Seminole nations. The slave schedules provide the names of slave owners, but not the names of slaves. |

|
| ==Online State and Territorial Censuses==
| | This census and a published index are available at the National Archives — Southwest Region, the Oklahoma Historical Society, and the Family History Library. For contact details, see the[[Oklahoma Archives and Libraries|"Archives and Libraries"]] section of this outline. |
| 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>
| |
| 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?==
| | The Family History Library has the 1900 federal census. There are separate schedules and indexes for the Indian Territory and the Oklahoma Territory for 1900. |
| 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
| |
| *Street or Avenue, or number Rural Free Delivery
| |
| *Sex
| |
| *Age
| |
| *Color
| |
| *Nativity
| |
| *Place of birth of this person
| |
| *Place of birth of Father of this person
| |
| *Place of birth of Mother of this person
| |
| *Period of Residence
| |
| *How long a resident of this State (years and months)
| |
| *How long a resident of this enumeration district (years and months)
| |
| *Regular occupation
| |
| *Military service
| |
|
| |
|
| === Sources and footnotes ===
| | In addition to the federal territorial censuses, a separate census was taken in 1890 of the Oklahoma Territory (FHL film 227,282). This includes information on the entire household but is incomplete for some areas. A card index is available at the State Historical Society. A helpful source for locating families in this census is Smith's ''First Directory of Oklahoma Territory: For the Year Commencing August 1st, 1890'' (see the [[Oklahoma Directories|“Directories”]] section of this outline). |
