The two top links are maps that show the United States in other times. Tracking our family through the census. The census is a great way to research where our family was during history. If you are just starting out with your family research, the census records can be very valuable. Depending on what year you are looking at, you can find out where your family was during a particular time, what their names are, their children's names and ages, what type of work they did, how many times they have been married, how long they have been married and various other aspects of their lives. After you have their children's names you can do searches of those names if you get stumped. Sometimes a census taker will spell the name wrong, the family might be using initials instead of names on some years or they might be using middle name. All of the information you find on a census record is important. Look at the date it was taken. If it was November and you knew your grandparent was born in that year, but, they don't appear on the census with the family, it might mean their birthday is in December. If you expected to find someone that wasn't there check the mortality schedule. If someone died within the 12 months preceding the census they might be on that schedule.
On this page are the census records I used in my own personal research.
