The 1819 census is available for Mecklenburg-Schwerin only. For Mecklenburg-Strelitz only a statistical summary of 1819 was preserved and it is of no genealogical value. For each family the 1819 census of Mecklenburg provides the family names and given names of all family members. For women it generally gives the maiden name. The birthplace, birthdate, year, trade and religion are also given. Children who were employed as servants were recorded with their masters. This material is an excellent source for researchers. A handy list of localities and their film numbers can be found here [[Mecklenburg Census Information]].<br> | The 1819 census is available for Mecklenburg-Schwerin only.

The 1860 census is not available for genealogical research. Also, it is not as informative as the 1819 census and not nearly so important because by 1860 the information provided in the parish registers is much improved | |||
