== Why use a census? == | |||
A well-indexed census is one of the easiest ways to locate where an ancestor's family lived and when they lived there. You can also use censuses to follow the changes in a family over time, and identify neighbors. These and other clues provided by censuses are important because they help find additional kinds of records about the family. | A well-indexed census is one of the easiest ways to locate where an ancestor's family lived and when they lived there.
