==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>
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 the Census?==
 
State census records can be one of the easiest ways to locate where an ancestor's family lived and when they lived there. Information varies based on year and location, but information that may be included in a census can include:
=== Indexes: fiche, film, or book  ===
*Name of each person in the family at the time the census was taken
 
*Street or Avenue, or number Rural Free Delivery
For a list of microform and book indexes for the non-population schedules of Nevada, [[Nevada Non-Population Schedule Indexes: Fiche, Film, or Book|click here]].
*Sex
 
*Age
=== State, territorial, and colonial censuses  ===
*Color
 
*Nativity
Nevada&nbsp;took several censuses in the years between the federal censuses. The dates are listed below. State census records may have columns that were different or more unusual than those found on federal censuses. The responses and years of coverage may give additional information on the family.  
*Place of birth of this person
 
*Place of birth of Father of this person
*'''1875''' Counties: All<ref>State Census Register: State and County Census Register Located at the Family History Library. (Salt Lake City: FHL, 2005), 2: 784-785.</ref> The 1875 state census and index are available at the Nevada State Library and Archives, University of Nevada—Reno and the Nevada Historical Society. The Family History Library has a copy of the schedules for 14 counties (Family History Library Fiche 6016536-53) and a microfiche index.
*Place of birth of Mother of this person

This census includes Douglas, Lyon, Ormsby, Storey, and Washoe counties, and part of Humboldt County. The schedules have been filmed and are available at several Nevada repositories. The information in this census varies with each county.

=== 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.
