Tips & Tricks
Prepare a census timeline before you begin. Review what you will find in the census you are searching. Work backwards from the most recent census. Expect spelling and age variations.



A person may not have been living on the day the census was actually taken (not the official day). However, all information is to be "as of the official census day."
