Time Coverage[edit | edit source]
The time periods of the census range from 1634-1750. There will be different years available for different communities.
- The first city census was taken in the city of Bern in 1764. They were taken at 15 year intervals from 1811 to 1850, at 10 year intervals since 1850.[1]
- The first federal census was dated from April 1836 to February 1838 and was very incomplete.
- In 1841 a more general census was taken.
- In 1850 the census took account only of the population with rights of residence and not those actually present.
