Federal[edit | edit source]
Many federal census records are found at the Family History Library and the National Archives and other federal and state archives. The United States Research Outline provides more detailed information regarding these records.
The Family History Library has the federal censuses for the state of Kansas for 1870, 1880, 1900, 1910, and 1920. The 1890 census was destroyed.
A soundex (phonetic) index is available on microfilm for part of the 1880 and all of the 1900, 1910, and 1920 censuses. The Family History Library also has a street index for Kansas City (FHL fiche 6331481) for use with the 1910 census.
Mortality schedules exist for the 1860, 1870, and 1880 censuses. The schedules and indexes are available in book or microfilm format at the Family History Library and at the Kansas State Historical Society.
Territorial and State[edit | edit source]
The Family History Library has the 1860 federal census for the Territory of Kansas and parts of Colorado and an index.
Censuses taken by the territory and the state also exist for 1855, 1865, 1875, 1885, 1895, 1905, 1915, and 1925. The 1855 census sometimes lists all the members of the family, but in some cases gives only the head of household and number of family members. The later censuses give information on the entire household and, after 1875, include the county or state of former residence. The Family History Library has the 1855 to 1895 censuses on 305 microfilms. All are available at the Kansas State Historical Society.
The Family History Library has a published statewide index for 1855 and county-wide indexes for other years. The State Historical Society has indexes to the 1855, 1860, and 1865 censuses, and to most of the 1875 census.
Voters censuses exist for 1856, 1857, and 1859 for some counties. The original records are at the Kansas State Historical Society. Many of these were printed in vols. 17-19 of Kansas Kin (see the "Periodicals" section of this outline).
