| | There are few national census records for Spain. The most common one was taken between 1750 and 1754, known as the Catastro de Ensenada. Much of this census has been microfilmed. To find the microfilm numbers you will need to do a '''[[Family History Library Catalog Place Search|Place Search]]''' in the Family History Library Catalog. |

| === Local Census Records ===
| |
| | |
| Local municipalities (''municipios'') took censuses of their populations periodically. In Spain you will find that the majority of the municipios began taking population censuses in the latter half of the 19th Century and continuing onto the present time, however, many census records exist for the 17th and 18th centuries.
| |
| | |
| Municipal census records are usually housed in the Municipal archives. Some have been microfilmed by FamilySearch (see Cádiz), but most have not. FamilySearch has scanned microfilm copies of local census records and published them on their website. Currently census records can be found among the municipal records collections by province. They may be called ''censo'' or ''padrones''.

| | |
| The best place to find local census records is through the [http://censoarchivos.mcu.es/CensoGuia/directorioarchivosInicial.htm Directorio de Archivos]. Perform a search for the municipio where your ancestors lived.
