When indexes are not available or a name is omitted from an index, you can still look for the name in the census. In large cities it helps to first learn the person’s address by searching the city directory under the census year (see the "Directories" section of this outline). Determine which enumeration district held that address. Then look for that enumeration district and address on the original census schedules. | When indexes are not available or a name is omitted from an index, you can still look for the name in the census.

The assessor made a record of veterans who served in the War of 1812, the Civil War, and other wars, or their widows or orphans who were residing in Indiana at the time of enrollment. | As a substitute for the 1890 census, use the military enrollment records made in 1886, 1890, and 1894 by the county assessor of each township.
