| ==Online State and Territorial Censuses==
| | The Family History Library has the 1860 federal census for the Territory of Kansas and parts of Colorado and an index. |
| 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>

| == Other Census Images ==
| | Censuses taken by the territory and the state also exist for 1855, 1865, 1875, 1885, 1895, 1905, 1915, and 1925. The 1855 census sometimes lists all the members of the family, but in some cases gives only the head of household and number of family members. The later censuses give information on the entire household and, after 1875, include the county or state of former residence. The Family History Library has the 1855 to 1895 censuses on 305 microfilms. All are available at the Kansas State Historical Society. |

|
| ==Why Use the Census?==
| | The Family History Library has a published statewide index for 1855 and county-wide indexes for other years. The State Historical Society has indexes to the 1855, 1860, and 1865 censuses, and to most of the 1875 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: | |
| *Name of each person in the family at the time the census was taken
| |
| *Street or Avenue, or number Rural Free Delivery
| |
| *Sex
| |
| *Age
| |
| *Color
| |
| *Nativity
| |
| *Place of birth of this person
| |
| *Place of birth of Father of this person
| |
| *Place of birth of Mother of this person
| |
| *Period of Residence
| |
| *How long a resident of this State (years and months)
| |
| *How long a resident of this enumeration district (years and months)
| |
| *Regular occupation
| |
| *Military service
| |
