== Historical Background  ==
==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>

== Indexes  ==
 
*Jackson, Ronald Vern. ''1890 Wisconsin Veterans Census Index''. Salt Lake City, Utah: Accelerated Indexing Systems, Inc., 1988. (FHL book 977.5 X22w 1890.) This index was taken from the schedule of ''Union Army Veterans and Widows, Schedules Enumerating Union Veterans and Widows'' . . . (FHL films 338270–275).<br>
 
Statewide indexes are available for the 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880 (for families with children ten years of age and under), 1900, and 1920 censuses. Card indexes for 1850, 1860, and 1870 are at the State Historical Society of Wisconsin and on microfilm at the Family History Library. There is a card for each member of the household in the 1850, 1860, 1870, and 1905 indexes. The county, village, town, or township is on these cards.
 
These indexes do not match the page numbers used on the National Archives and Family History Library microfilm copies of the census, but they do give the county and township. For 1850, a published index is available with page numbers that match the microfilmed census:
 
*Jackson, Ronald Vern. ''Wisconsin 1850 Census Index''. North Salt Lake, Utah: Accelerated Indexing Systems, 1978. (FHL book 977.5 x2p 1850j). This volume indexes only the heads of households.
 
Soundex (phonetic) indexes are available on microfilm for part of the 1880 and all of the 1900 and 1920 censuses.
 
Countywide indexes sometimes help you locate names overlooked in statewide indexes.
 
If you need to find an enumeration district, the following sources may help:
 
*Kirkham, E. Kay. ''A Handy Guide to Record-Searching in the Larger Cities of the United States''. Logan, Utah: Everton, 1974. (FHL book 973 D27kc; fiche 6010059-60.) Includes a ward map and street index for Milwaukee, 1878.
 
== Special Census  ==
 
==== Mortality Schedules  ====
 
Mortality Schedules, which recorded deaths during the year preceding the census exist for '''1850, 1860, 1870''', and '''1880.''' The schedules are available at the State Historical Society of Wisconsin. The Family History Library has an index, in book form, to the 1850 mortality schedule (FHL 977.5 X2jm 1850) and a copy of the 1880 mortality schedule on microfilm (FHL films 1032684 item 3–1032686).
 
==== Native American  ====
 
There are helpful censuses of Native Americans in Wisconsin for the time period '''1885-1933'''.&nbsp;
 
== Territorial Census  ==
 
Wisconsin territorial or state censuses are listed in :
 
*Buckway, G. Eileen. ''U.S. State and Special Census Register.'' Salt Lake City, Utah:Family History Library, 1992. (FHL book 973 X2be; fiche 6104851–52.)
 
The area that is now Wisconsin was included in the censuses of Michigan Territory in 1820 and 1830 and Wisconsin Territory in 1840. Indexes are available for the federal territorial censuses of 1820 and 1830.
 
== State Census  ==
 
In addition to the federal censuses, special censuses were taken by the territory and state in the following years:
 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; '''1836, 1842, 1855, 1885'''
 
'''&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1838, 1846, 1865, 1895'''
