Census records are extremely valuable in genealogical research. They:
Census records 1) Reveal specifics about the family, such as names, ages, birthplaces. (See [[United States Census#Contents of Federal Censuses|Contents of Federal Censuses]]); 2) Locate the family. (See [[Using the Census to find other records about ancestors|Using the Census to find other records]]); and 3) '''Provide clues''' that help you learn even more about them.  
#Reveal specifics about the family, such as names, ages, birthplaces. See [[United States Census#Contents of Federal Censuses|Contents of Federal Censuses]]
 
#Locate the family in the very places where other records about them were likely created. (See [[Using the Census to find other records about ancestors|Using the Census to find other records]]
#'''Provide clues''' that help you learn even more about them.  


Helping you make the most of all these benefits is the purpose of this article.
