The Family History Library has the U.S. federal censuses for the state of [[Portal:Wisconsin|Wisconsin]] from 1820, 1830, 1840, 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880, 1900, 1910, 1920, and 1930.

The 1890 census for Wisconsin was destroyed, but there is a published index of the Union Army veterans and widows in Wisconsin who were enumerated with the 1890 census:  


Jackson, Ronald Vern. ''1890 Wisconsin Veterans Census Index''. Salt Lake City, Utah: Accelerated Indexing Systems, Inc., 1988. (FHL book 977.5 X22w 1890.) This index was taken from the schedule of ''Union Army veterans and widows, Schedules Enumerating Union Veterans and Widows'' . . . (FHL films 338270–275).
== Indexes ==
 
Statewide indexes are available for the 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880 (for families with children ten years of age and under), 1900, and 1920 censuses. Card indexes for 1850, 1860, and 1870 are at the State Historical Society of Wisconsin and on microfilm at the Family History Library. There is a card for each member of the household in the 1850, 1860, 1870, and 1905 indexes. The county, village, town, or township is on these cards.
 
These indexes do not match the page numbers used on the National Archives and Family History Library microfilm copies of the census, but they do give the county and township. For 1850, a published index is available with page numbers that match the microfilmed census:


Jackson, Ronald Vern. ''Wisconsin 1850 Census Index''. North Salt Lake, Utah: Accelerated Indexing Systems, 1978. (FHL book 977.5 x2p 1850j). This volume indexes only the heads of households.
