'''Tips'''
==Online Federal Censuses==
*If at first you don't find a name, try again under [[Spelling Substitution Tables for the United States and Canada|another spelling]].  
===Population Schedules===
*[[Copying Sources|Photocopy]] and/or save a digital copy of each ancestor's census. Identify where you found it.
Starting in 1790, federal population schedules were taken every 10 years in the United States. [[United States Census|'''Click here for more information''']] about federal census records. <br><br>
*Look for an ancestor in '''''every''''' census during her or his lifetime.
New York State was the 11th state to join the Union on July 26, 1788.  It was included in all of the federal censuses.
*On the [[Adding a Custom Event to a PAF Family Group Record|family group record]] show each person's census listings.  
======'''United States Federal Censuses with Online Links'''======

The original county copies of the federal censuses, 1850–1880, are normally at the county clerk's offices. These copies are more accurate than the federal copies. The [[Family History Library|Family History Library]] has county copies on microfilm.

==Online State and Territorial Censuses==
 
State censuses are census records that were taken at the state-level rather than at the federal. Often, but not always, a state took their census in ten year increments 5 years from when the Federal Census was taken, such as 1885. State censuses can even serve as substitutes for missing federal censuses. For more information on state censuses, visit [https://www.census.gov/history/www/genealogy/other_resources/state_censuses.html United States Census Bureau].<br><br>
For a list of microform and book indexes for the non-population schedules of New York see [[New York Non-Population Schedule Indexes: Fiche, Film, or Book]].
Territorial censuses were taken by the federal government to count the population in federal territories. The government needed to count the population in the territory to see if it could qualify for statehood. For more information on territorial censuses, visit the [[United States Census Territorial|US Territorial Census page]].<br><br>

=== 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 determine additional records that contain information about the family.
