Maryland made in '''1778''' a list of citizens who had taken an oath of fidelity which list is sometimes called a census.
 
Maryland took a census in '''1776''':

=== Why use a census?  ===
 
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.
 
=== More about censuses  ===
 
[[United States Census|Click here]] for additional details about how to use censuses, such as:
 
:*index searching tips
:*analyzing and using what you find
:*census accuracy
:*historical background
:*contents of various&nbsp;census years and types
 
=== External sites  ===
 
Many censuses and indexes&nbsp;are on free sites, others are at paid sites.&nbsp;Some&nbsp;may have access through library membership, and other are personal paid sites. Some sites have partial censuses and others major fee sites have the whole series,&nbsp;with&nbsp;indexes and links to images. Online indexes are searchable in different ways, see tips if you are having difficulties locating your family.
 
*[http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#r=0;p=allCollections FamilySearch Record Search] is&nbsp;free site. There are a few census years available now&nbsp;with more being added. Search the index and view the images. The index is to every name listed on the census.

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>

'''Years taken: 1860,1870, 1880'''
 
== &nbsp;State Censuses  ==
 
Minnesota has state censuses for the years:
 
'''1865--'''Name, sex, colored, deaf, dumb, blind, soldier in service on June 1, 1865.
 
'''1875--'''Name, age, sex, color, place of birth, father of foreign birth, mother of foreign birth
 
'''1885--'''Name, age, sex, color,&nbsp;place of birth, father of foreign birth, mother of foreign birth, whether deaf, dumb, blind, insane or soldier in Civil War
 
'''1895--'''
 
Population Coverage <br>The census includes most individuals within the counties enumerated.
 
Collection History <br>State censuses were taken in Minnesota every ten years beginning in 1865 through 1905.
 
Why was this collection created? <br>The census was compiled to obtain a description and a count of the population of the state of Minnesota.
 
Collection Reliability <br>The information is generally reliable. However use the information with some caution since it may have been given to a census taker by any member of the family or by a neighbor. Some information may have been incorrect or deliberately falsified.
 
Collection Description <br>The record is a printed form that was filled in by hand by the enumerator. The forms are arranged by county and community.
 
Collection Content <br>The key genealogical facts found in the Minnesota 1895 State Census are:<br>• Name<br>• Age<br>• Gender<br>• Color<br>• Place of birth (state or territory if in the U.S., country if foreign born)<br>• Length of residence<br>• Occupation<br>• If a soldier or sailor in the Civil War<br>• Whether mother and father foreign born or not<br>• Residence or location within a country (The location within a county may not be a town name but a legal land description instead which gives the township number and the range number.)
 
How to Use the Collection <br>A census can provide you with names and ages of family members, which can be used to calculate birth or marriage dates. It can also provide the name of the county and town where your ancestor lived. People living with the family may be relatives. Relatives may also have lived nearby. The census may identify individuals for whom other records may not exist.
 
'''1905--'''Gives same as 1895, plus: street address, place of birth of father, place of birth of mother, service in Civil and Spanish Wars.
 
Portions of some counties have been indexed, and some are available in published format. Census schedules for some years have been lost for some counties. Microfilms are available at the Minnesota Historical Society and at the Family History Library.
 
The '''Minnesota Historical Society '''created guides of their collection for the 1865, 1875, 1885, 1895, and 1905 censuses that include a county index, an introduction that lists counties that have no schedule, and a roll content list that has the subdivisions (townships, municipalities) in each county and the order they appear on the roll.
 
The Minnesota Historical Society’s Genealogical Resources of the Minnesota Historical Society, A Guide has information on all the censuses that pertain to Minnesota. (See the "[[Minnesota Archives and Libraries|Minnesota Archives and Libraries]]" article.)  
 
Some of the early territorial censuses have been published in the ''Minnesota Genealogist ''and the ''Minnesota Genealogical Journal''.

== Territorial Census  ==
 
Portions of present-day Minnesota were included in the 1836 Wisconsin territorial census, as part of Crawford and Dubuque counties. (Dubuque County was later in Iowa Territory.) In 1838, the Wisconsin territorial census covered some of Minnesota in Crawford and Clayton counties. Some Minnesota residents are listed in the 1840 territorial censuses of Wisconsin and Iowa.
 
In 1849 Minnesota became its own territory.&nbsp; '''Territorial censuses were taken in 1849, 1850, 1853, 1855 and 1857'''. A microfilmed index is at Minnesota Historical Library and available through interlibrary loan. Parts or all of some of these censuses have been lost. Others are at the Minnesota Historical Society Library. The Family History Library has:

The 1857 census is arranged alphabetically by county and then by the smaller jurisdiction. It was taken 21 September 1857 and lists each household member and includes name, age, sex, race, birth locality (state, territory, or country), occupation, and if naturalized or native citizen.

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.
