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.

Why Use the 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
