==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>
*'''State:''' There are no state censuses that were taken by Ohio. See [[United States State Census Records]] for more information.
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>
*'''Territorial:''' 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>

Ohio Censuses[edit | edit source]

Starting in 1790, federal population schedules were taken every 10 years in the United States. See United States Census for more information about federal census records.

Ohio became a state on 1 March 1803, having been created from the Northwest Territory. Those living in Ohio will be listed under the Northwest Territory in the census.
