==Online Federal Censuses==
===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>
Nebraska was the 37th State to join the Union on March 1, 1867.  The State was formed from the Nebraska Territory. It was first included on the 1860 U.S. Census as a 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>

==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:  
Mortality schedules for 1860, 1870, 1880, and 1885 are also located at the Nebraska State Historical Society at [http://www.nebraskahistory.org/ http://www.nebraskahistory.org/].

*'''1913-1914''' A detailed census of [[Germans from Russia|German immigrants from Russia living]] in Lincoln was taken for Nebraska. The information is similar to that found in the 1900 census, but the town or colony of birth is also given. It is arranged by street. (Family History Library film 833157.)
*'''1885''' The Federal Government took a special census of Nebraska, which is on 56 microfilms at the Family History Library and at the Nebraska State Historical Society. The society also has the state ''Gazetteer and Business Directory for 1886'' and a card index made from the directory that provides a partial index to the census. The Family History Library does not have the directory or the card index.

=== 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.
