"State Censuses, An annotated bibliography of censuses of population taken after the year 1790 by States and Territories of the United States. " Long title for such a small publication! Originally publishedin Washingto DC in 1948, it was reprinted in 1975 by The Bookmark and I believe I've seen a more recent reprint - try your search engine.. try Amazon.com Trevia Wooster Beverly Houston, Texas ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lynn B" To: Sent: Sunday, July 23, 2006 9:37 PM Subject: [ROOTS-L] Find info on old State censuses and substitutes > In Digest #312 someone asked about how to find old censuses. 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. > Lynn > > > > >personally, I want to know where the colonial, territorial and state censi > >are. I have a large list of all the ones ever taken in America, but no idea > >where most of them are.
