State, territorial, and colonial censuses[edit | edit source]
Maine took censuses in the years between the federal censuses, the dates are listed below. State census records may have columns that were different or more unusual than those found on federal censuses. The responses and years of coverage may give additional information on the family *1905 Scarboro only, in Cumberland County[1] *1904 Kennebunkport only, in York County[2] *1837 State (some towns missing).[3] The Maine State Archives website (www.maine.gov/sos/arc/research/vitalrec.html) says, "The Archives also has partial returns of the special revenue-sharing census of 1837." Another page of the Maine State Archives website (www.maine.gov/sos/arc/research/townhist.html) says, "1837 Revenue-Sharing Census . . . covers Bangor, Portland and the unincorporated townships of that time only, and includes the name of the head of the house, and the number of other people living there.". See also "Online Federal and State Population Schedules for Maine" above.

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.
