	The first city census was taken in the city of Bern in 1764; the first federal census was dated from April 1836 to February 1838 and was very incomplete.  In 1841 a more general census was taken; in 1850 the census took account only of the population with rights of residence and not those actually present.  In 1860 the census information was more complete and it was improved in 1870 and 1880.  These records are in the state archives.  Information included would be names of family members, sevants, ages and occupation.
