+'''Census Records'''
+*The first census in he Austrian Empire was taken in 1754 under Maria Theresia, because of resistance by the nobility and clergy the next census was not taken in the Austrian Empire (without Hungary) until 1869, 1880, 1890, 1900 and the last census in 1910.

+'''Civil Registration'''
+*Civil registration  of births and deaths began throughout Austria on 1 January 1939.
+*Civil registration of marriages started on 1 August 1938.
+*For marriages before 1 August 1938 and births and deaths before 1 January 1939, church records should be searched.
+*From 1870, people with no religion and those who belonged to some of the smaller confessions, registered their names in local magistrates' courts, where the lists are archived.

+'''Church Records'''
+*The various religious communities kept registers of births and/or baptisms, marriages and deaths and/or burials.
+*The historical records are kept in the private archives of each religious community.
+*Until 1849 Catholic priests were required to include in their parish registers the records of other denominations; thus, even though your ancestors may have been Lutheran or Jewish, you must search Catholic registers up to 1849.
+*Generally you have to know your ancestors' religious affiliation.
+*The records of the Catholic Church are organized at the local level: you need to identify the relevant parish.
