==Online State and Territorial Censuses==
 
State censuses are census records that were taken at the state-level rather than at the federal. Often, but not always, a state took their census in ten year increments 5 years from when the Federal Census was taken, such as 1885. State censuses can even serve as substitutes for missing federal censuses. For more information on state censuses, visit [https://www.census.gov/history/www/genealogy/other_resources/state_censuses.html United States Census Bureau].<br><br>
=== Federal population schedules  ===
Territorial censuses were taken by the federal government to count the population in federal territories. The government needed to count the population in the territory to see if it could qualify for statehood. For more information on territorial censuses, visit the [[United States Census Territorial|US Territorial Census page]].<br><br>

==Why Use the Census?==
 
State census records can be one of the easiest ways to locate where an ancestor's family lived and when they lived there. Information varies based on year and location, but information that may be included in a census can include:
*
*Name of each person in the family at the time the census was taken
 
*Street or Avenue, or number Rural Free Delivery
==== Indexes: fiche, film, or book  ====
*Sex
 
*Age
For a list of microform and book indexes for the non-population schedules of Michigan, [[Michigan Non-Population Schedule Indexes: Fiche, Film, or Book|click here]].
*Color
 
*Nativity
=== State, territorial, and colonial censuses  ===
*Place of birth of this person
 
*Place of birth of Father of this person
More than 20 early territorial censuses were taken in various areas of Michigan. Historical background and the names found in the early lists are given in:
*Place of birth of Mother of this person
 
*Period of Residence
*Russell, Donna Valley.''Michigan Censuses, 1710–1830''. Detroit, Michigan: Detroit Society for Genealogical Research, 1982. (Family History Library [http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titledetails&titleno=266465&disp=Michigan+censuses%2C+1710%2D1830%2C+unde%20%20&columns=*,0,0 book 977.4 X2r].)
*How long a resident of this State (years and months)
 
*How long a resident of this enumeration district (years and months)
'''1827, 1834, 1837, 1845, 1854, 1864, 1874, 1884, 1894, and 1904--'''Other territorial and state enumerations were made in these years .
*Regular occupation
 
*Military service
'''1827, 1837, and 1845-- '''Indexes for the territorial and state censuses have been published. The original schedules are housed in many different local repositories. The schedules of many counties are missing.
 
'''1884, 1894--&nbsp;'''The most complete collections are for these censuses, which include detailed information on each family member.
 
More detailed information on Michigan census records is in "Michigan Census Schedules and Records," printed in the Summer-Fall 1978 issue of ''Family Trails''.

=== Why use a census?  ===
 
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.
