Census Records
Census Records[edit | edit source]
As a way to number the population, countries across the world have taken censuses. Usually these were conducted by the government or church. Sometimes censuses were conducted on specific years, and other times they were conducted more sporadically. Census records can be helpful in genealogy as they often list a person's name, age, and residence. Some countries often took more censuses than just population schedules. Types of censuses often include:
- Agricultural Schedules
- Mortality Schedules
- Manufacturing Schedules
- Population Schedules
- Veteran Schedules
