*According to Lainhart, Indiana county assessors were supposed to take a state census every six years starting in 1853. She also quotes ''Ancestry's Red Book'' saying enumerations were made at various intervals starting in 1820. Most of these incomplete originals are apparently at county archives. The Indiana State Library at Indianapolis has a few for 1931, 1919, 1913, 1901, 1889, 1883, 1877, 1871, and 1857.<ref name="Lainh" /> Many are also published in periodicals.<ref name="Shawha">fckLRfckLR=== Why use a census? ===fckLRfckLRA well-indexed census is one of the easiest ways to locate where an ancestor's family lived and when they lived there.

Existing and Lost Censuses

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 United States Census Bureau.

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 US Territorial Census page.

Indiana took state censuses for statistical purposes only.
