*[[United States Census Online Genealogy Records|United States Online Census, 1790-1940]]  
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>
*{{RecordSearch|1877095|United States Census of Union Veterans and Widows of the Civil War, 1890}} — index and images
Ohio became a state on 1 March 1803, having been created from the Northwest Territory. So in the 1800 Census it will be listed under the Northwest Territory.

==Online State and Territorial Censuses==
|+ '''Federal Census Microfilms Available from the [[National Archives and Records Administration|National Archives]]'''  
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>
'''No state censuses were taken for Ohio.'''
==Quadrennial Censuses==
'''Ohio enumerated a quadrennial census at the county level. Some of these censuses still exist. Adult males age 21 and above were enumerated.'''

=== Why use a census?  ===
 
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.
