Census[edit | edit source]
Census records (recensămînt) list the names of each member of a family and show ages and other valuable information for linking families. They are used in conjunction with the parish and civil registers to establish family relationships. Austro-Hungarian censuses for Transylvania, Banat and Bukovina were taken in 1785, 1805, 1828, 1857, 1869, 1880, 1890, 1900, and 1910. Romania has conducted a census in each of the following years: 1912 (Wallachia, Moldavia and Dobrogea only), 1930 (includes Moldova and Bukovina), 1941, 1956, and 1966.
