==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 [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>
'''New Hampshire did not take any state censuses.'''


For a list of microform and book indexes for the non-population schedules of New Hampshire, [[New Hampshire Non-Population Schedule Indexes: Fiche, Film, or Book|click here]].
==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:
=== State, territorial, and colonial censuses  ===
*Name of each person in the family at the time the census was taken
 
*Street or Avenue, or number Rural Free Delivery
*'''1776 ''' State census of men over age 21 who declared their Revolutionary War position.<ref>Jay Mack Holbrook, ''[http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/2619932 New Hampshire 1776 Census]'' (Oxford, Mass.: Holbrook Research Institute, 1976)[[{{Holbroo}}]]. This book lists the name, town and county of residence, whether they were for or against the Revolutionary War, and the page number from the ''New Hampshire provincial and state papers'', vol. 30 [FHL Book 974.2 N2nhp v. 30; Film 983567].</ref>
*Sex
 
*Age
=== Existing and lost censuses  ===
*Color
 
*Nativity
For a list of available and missing New Hampshire censuses, [[New Hampshire Censuses Existing and Lost|click here]]. <br>
*Place of birth of this person
 
*Place of birth of Father of this person
=== Why use a census? ===
*Place of birth of Mother of this person
 
*Period of Residence
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.
*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

Existing and Lost Censuses[edit | edit source]

Online State and Territorial Censuses[edit | edit source]

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.

New Hampshire did not take any state censuses.

Why Use the Census?[edit | edit source]

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
