== Using Censuses  ==
 
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 can be used to help find additional kinds of records about the family.
 
Additional details about how to use censuses can be found here:

Censuses were taken in Wisconsin in different years than the federal censuses and contain different information than that in federal censuses. Check these censuses for more information on a family.

Two manuscript versions of the 1850, 1860, and 1870 censuses exist, one at the National Archives and the other at the Wisconsin Historical Society. Because these are copies, there may be transcription errors, so that the information in each may be different. The two may also differ in the legibility of the handwriting, the condition of the manuscript, and the quality of the microfilm.<ref>"Local Genealogy," ''McMillan Memorial Library'' (http://www.scls.lib.wi.us/mcm/local/local_genealogy.html : accessed 2 October 2009).</ref> The Family History Library has microfilms of the set in the possession of the National Archives.


Two manuscripts exist for the 1850, 1860, and 1870 censuses. One set of manuscripts exists at the National Archives and another at the Wisconsin Historical Society. The information on each set is supposed to be the same, but it can be beneficial to check both. Transcription errors might exist. The two might differ in the legibility of the handwriting, the condition of the manuscript, and the quality of the microfilm.<ref>"Local Genealogy," ''McMillan Memorial Library'' (http://www.scls.lib.wi.us/mcm/local/local_genealogy.html : accessed 2 October 2009).</ref> The Family History Library has microfilms of the set in the possession of the National Archives.

=== 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.

Using Censuses[edit | edit source]

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 can be used to help find additional kinds of records about the family.

Additional details about how to use censuses can be found here:

Tips
  • If at first you don't find a name, try again under another spelling.
  • Photocopy each ancestor's census. Identify where you found it.
  • Look for an ancestor in every census during her or his lifetime.
  • On the family group record show each person's census listings.
  • Study others in the same household, neighbors, and anyone with the similar names nearby on the census in community context.

Wisconsin State and Territorial Censuses[edit | edit source]

Censuses were taken in Wisconsin in different years than the federal censuses and contain different information than that in federal censuses. Check these censuses for more information on a family.

Wisconsin State and Territorial Censuses[1]
1834 Territorial Census for Crawford, Brown and Iowa Counties,located in the western part of Michigan Territory[2][3]
1837 Territory Census [4]
1836 Territorial Census [5][6][7][8][4]
1838 Territorial Census Lost, except for the counties of Brown, Calumet, Crawford, Dodge, Fond du Lac, Green, Jefferson, Manitowoc, Marquette, Milwaukee, Portage, Sheboygan,and Washington.[5][9][4]
1842 Territorial Census [5][10][4]
1846 Territorial Census, except for the counties of Crawford, Chippewa, Fond du Lac, LaPointe, Grand Rapids in Portage, Richland, and Sheboygan.[5][11][4]

Federal Population Schedules[edit | edit source]

For a list of the exact date of each federal census, see Wisconsin Censuses Existing and Lost.

Manuscripts[edit | edit source]

Two manuscript versions of the 1850, 1860, and 1870 censuses exist, one at the National Archives and the other at the Wisconsin Historical Society. Because these are copies, there may be transcription errors, so that the information in each may be different. The two may also differ in the legibility of the handwriting, the condition of the manuscript, and the quality of the microfilm.[22] The Family History Library has microfilms of the set in the possession of the National Archives.
