+Statewide indexes represent almost every household in the Vermont censuses. For most families, they index only the first person listed in each household, who was usually the father or head of the household. Many families, however, had relatives or friends with a different surname living with them when the census was taken. In those cases, the first person of each surname in the household is included in the index.<br>
+'''Soundex--'''Soundex or phonetic indexes are available for part of the 1880 census (those indexed are households with children born between 1870 and 1880). There is a Soundex index for all households in the 1900 and 1920 censuses. The 1910 census does not have a Soundex index.
+'''Omissions--'''Some statewide indexes and multi- state indexes have significant omissions. There are 18 towns omitted from the 1850 statewide census index. These include indexes for Rutland County census pages 348–416, Washington County census pages 62–132, and Windham County census pages 1–151. The 1860 statewide census index omits an entire microfilm of census records for the county of Addison on census pages 1–616. <br>

-Federal Censuses
-'''Population Schedules (1790–1920)'''. Many federal census records are at the Family History Library, the National Archives, and other federal and state archives. [[United States Census|United States Census]] provides detailed information about these records.
-The Family History Library has microfilms of the U.S. federal censuses of Vermont taken every 10 years from 1790 (actually taken in 1791), 1800, 1810, 1820, 1830, 1840, 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880, 1900, 1910, and 1920. The 1890 census was destroyed, but the 1890 Civil War Union veterans schedule and a published index are available at the Family History Library and at the National Archives.
-Statewide indexes represent almost every household in the Vermont censuses. For most families, they index only the first person listed in each household, who was usually the father or head of the household. Many families, however, had relatives or friends with a different surname living with them when the census was taken. In those cases, the first person of each surname in the household is included in the index.
-Statewide indexes are available for the 1790, 1800, 1810, 1820, 1830, 1840, 1850, 1860 , and 1870 federal censuses in book and microfiche format. Soundex (phonetic) indexes are available for part of the 1880 census (those indexed are households with children born between 1870 and 1880). There is a Soundex index for all households in the 1900 and 1920 censuses. The 1910 census does not have a Soundex index.
-'''Omissions'''. Some statewide indexes and multi- state indexes have significant omissions. There are 18 towns omitted from the 1850 statewide census index. These include indexes for Rutland County census pages 348–416, Washington County census pages 62–132, and Windham County census pages 1–151. The 1860 statewide census index omits an entire microfilm of census records for the county of Addison on census pages 1–616.
-The FamilyFinder™ Index (FamilyFinder is a trademark of Brøderbund Software, Inc.) described below omits the same set of 1850 census pages, but it does index the Addison County names omitted in the 1860 statewide index. The AIS Microfiche Indexes described below also omit the same set of 1850 census pages, and do not index the 1860 census at all. The Family History Library does not have county-wide indexes to fill these statewide census index gaps.
-County-wide indexes to federal censuses may include heads of households that were overlooked or whose names were misspelled in statewide indexes. County-wide indexes are listed in the Family History Library Catalog Place Search under:

-VERMONT, [COUNTY]- CENSUS- [YEAR]
+<br>
 The state copy of the 1850 federal census of the towns of Baltimore and Springfield listed the town of birth for each resident. For an index of this state copy of these two towns, see Vermont Families in 1791 cited in the [[Vermont Genealogy|"Genealogy"]] section of this outline.
