*Territorial and state censuses were taken at frequent intervals between 1792 and 1880 for various counties. Few are complete and the information in the censuses varies. For example, maiden names are included in the 1792 census. These censuses are available online in {{RecordSearch|1919687|Mississippi State Archives, Various Records, 1820-1951}}, as well as onsite at the [http://www.mdah.state.ms.us/ Mississippi Department of Archives and History] and at the [[Family History Library]] ({{FHL|899868}}-870]).

==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:  
*'''1850-1880'''--Mortality schedules are at the Mississippi Department of Archives and History.
*Name of each person in the family at the time the census was taken
 
*Street or Avenue, or number Rural Free Delivery
=== Indexes: fiche, film, or book  ===
*Sex
 
*Age
For a list of microform and book indexes for the non-population schedules of Mississippi, [[Mississippi Non-Population Schedule Indexes: Fiche, Film, or Book|click here]].
*Color
 
*Nativity
=== State, territorial, and colonial censuses  ===
*Place of birth of this person
 
*Place of birth of Father of this person
Censuses were taken in Mississippi 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.
*Place of birth of Mother of this person
 
*Period of Residence

=== 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.
