State and colonial censuses[edit | edit source]
Pennylvania never took a state census. Records indicated as state censuses are in reality reconstructed tax lists.
- 1857 Chester County only: a list of taxable inhabitants by Township.[1][2]
- 1671 Philadelphia and Delaware counties in Pennsylvania; New Castle County, Delaware, and Burlington County, New Jersey.[3]
Existing and lost censuses[edit | edit source]
For a list of available and missing Pennsylvania censuses, click here.
Why use a census?[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 are important because they help find additional kinds of records about the family.
