===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>

*If at first you don't find a name, try again under [[Spelling Substitution Tables for the United States and Canada|another spelling]].  
*[[Copying Sources|Photocopy]] each ancestor's census. Identify where you found it.
*Look for an ancestor in '''''every''''' census during her or his lifetime.
*On the [[Adding a Custom Event to a PAF Family Group Record|family group record]] show&nbsp;each person's census listings.
*Study&nbsp;others in the same household, neighbors, and anyone with the similar names nearby on the census in [[Research a Family in Community Context|community context]].


{{Adoption ARGenWeb}} <br>
Though the United States purchased Arkansas from the French in 1803, Anglo-American settlement of the area did not began in earnest until after the formal organization of the territory in 1819. Therefore, Arkansas does not appear in Federal Censuses before 1830.

=== State, territorial, and colonial censuses  ===


Censuses were taken in Arkansas in different years than the federal censuses. These censuses may have different data compared to federal censuses. Check these censuses for more information on a family.
==Online State and Territorial Censuses==
 
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>
*[http://search.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=3534 Compiled Census and Census substitutes Index, 1819-1870] at Ancestry.com ($)
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?==
 
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:
For a list of available and missing Arkansas censuses, [[Arkansas Censuses Existing and Lost|click here]]. <br>
*Name of each person in the family at the time the census was taken
 
*Street or Avenue, or number Rural Free Delivery
=== Why use a census? ===
*Sex
 
*Age
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.
*Color
 
*Nativity
=== More about censuses  ===
*Place of birth of this person
