  • Photocopy each ancestor's census. Identify where you found it.
  • Look for an ancestor in every census during her or his lifetime.
  • On the family group record show each person's census listings.
  • Study others in the same household, neighbors, and anyone with the similar names nearby on the census in community context.

State, territorial, and colonial censuses[edit | edit source]

State or Territory Censuses of Idaho
1856 Malad County (part of the 1856 Utah Territory census)[1]

The area that is now Idaho was for some years included in the federal censuses under the name of other territories:

  • 1870 and later in Idaho Territory or State[2]
  • 1860 Washington Territory (for Idaho residents, if any, see the Spokane County, Washington census)[2]
  • 1850 Oregon Territory (no known white residents in what is now Idaho)[3]

Also, in 1860 and 1870 a few households on thin slices of far southern Idaho were included in the federal censuses of Cache County, and possibly Box Elder County, Utah.[2]

Also, the 1856 territorial census of Utah included residents in "Malad County" and the northern part of Cache County who lived on the south edge of Idaho.[1]

Idaho itself did not take any state or territorial censuses of its residents.

Existing and lost censuses[edit | edit source]

Why use a census?[edit | edit source]

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.
