The fifth lesson in the NGS Home Study Course is about census records.  I use census records all the time and didn’t learn anything new; however, as with most of the lessons so far, doing the assignments brought out holes in my research.

The first assignment in this lesson is to create a census research checklist based on the 4-generation pedigree chart one is working on throughout the course.  The task is to identify each federal census taken during the individuals’ lifetimes and to indicate where you would look (county and state) for the census records.

Census Research Checklist-JEH

As you can see, I’ve already located most of the census records, but there are several that I haven’t located yet.  A few individuals are missing most census records, most notably the McEntires and Alexanders, so those are big holes that need to be filled.
