There are two types of census records available for people search American Indian records. The first is U.S. population census records and Indian Census Rolls, both have identical information and some differences. Indian Census records were usually each year by agents or superintendents in charge of Indian reservations, to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, as required by an act of July 4, 1884. By 1940 many areas covered under the Indian Census Rolls were soon incorporated into U.S. population census records. | There are two types of census records available for people search American Indian records.
