-<br>Census records can show the following information for each member of the household: name, age, state or country of birth, marital status, occupation, race, citizenship, and immigration information. They can give clues to marriage dates, death dates, migration patterns, previous residence, adoptions, and divorces. Parents or other relatives may have been living with a family when a census was taken. People listed in the census with the same surname may be related. Statewide indexes help to locate families when only their state of residence is known.

-'''Federal Censuses'''
-Population Schedules (1790–1930). Many federal census records are at the Family History Library, the National Archives, and other federal and state archives. The United States Research Outline provides detailed information regarding these records.
-United States federal censuses of Kentucky were taken every ten years starting in 1790. The 1790, 1800, and 1890 censuses have been destroyed. Tax lists have been indexed and published as substitutes for the 1790 and 1800 censuses. The 1890 Union veterans schedule and index for most of the state is available. All other federal censuses 1930 and before are available to the public. Later censuses are expected to be available in the future based on federal guidelines.
 Statewide indexes represent every household in the Kentucky censuses. For most families they index only the first person listed in each household; this person was usually the father or head of the house. 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.
