Bill Dollarhide put together a wonderful series of articles in "Genealogy Bulletin" in the recent past. Each issue had several states focused on and listed a multitude of resources for State censuses and their substitutes (ie. tax records, selective service cards, naturalizations). For those new to genealogy, please know that States also had censuses, separate from the federal government, and usually in different years. These articles have listed statewide items and are divided up by county within each state. For example, the June 2005 issue had Arizona and New Mexico; the December 2004 issue had Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Dakota Territory, and No. and So. Dakota. All the states were covered. These issues also had state timelines. Each item has the FHL call number or the publication it is found in. Excellent resource!! The "Genealogy Bulletin" was put out by Heritage Creations. Although the company is now gone, the publisher is now with Evertons and the publications should be in some libraries, I would think.
