Historically, national censuses have been taken by the Pakistan government since 1881. Typically a census is a count and description of the population. Where available, census records can provide an ancestor’s name, age, occupation, marital status prior to the marriage, birthplace, and family member relationships. Census returns can also provide clues that lead to other records. A census may list selected people or the whole population. The percentage of people listed depends on the purpose of the census and on how careful the enumerator was. | Historically, national censuses have been taken by the Pakistan government since 1881.
