State, territorial, and colonial censuses[edit | edit source]
Colorado took several censuses in the years between the federal censuses. The dates are listed below. State census records may have columns that were different or more unusual than those found on federal censuses. The responses and years of coverage may give additional information on the family.
- 1885 Garfield county missing[1]
- 1866 Logan, Morgan, Sedgwick, Weld and northern parts of Washington and Yuma counties only[2]
- 1860 The Kansas Territory federal census includes parts of Colorado. Kansas has a state copy of that federal census. That state copy and it's index including names from Colorado are available at the Kansas State Historical Society.[3]
Existing and lost censuses[edit | edit source]

Why use a census?[edit | edit source]
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.
