Today we’re talking about the U.S. Census from 1790 to 1950 as they evolved over time. It’s a detailed look at each census, things to look for, what some of the labels mean. Also… How do you verify those ancestors prior to 1850? Stay to the end where I’ll show you some tricks to verifying your ancestors in the older census records prior to 1850 when only the Head of the Household was named.
