Census Records - Yet Another Great Source of Information!

Most countries have a Census every few years and this has gone on for years. The information from a census is a wonderful permanent record of the country at that particular time in history. A lot of census information is now available online and genealogists and family history researchers have never had it so good! Unfortunately you will find that some records have been lost or destroyed by fire over the years, and that some records are yet to be made available online.

I have listed below some useful links to census data. I hope you can find what you are looking for! The thing is not to get disheartened when you fail to find any information, remember census records are just another useful tool which can be used in your search for you ancestors.
If you want to check out census information in the US you should check out these sites:-

• US Federal Census Collection - Ancestry.Com this is your best resource!
•  Census Finder
• Free Online Census Records and Indexes

In the UK I would suggest that you try:-

•  Find My Past
• National Archives - Census Records
• UK 1841 Census

In Australia I would suggest:-

•  Ancestry.com.au then click on search option - Census and Voter Lists will then be displayed
• Genealogy Links - Contain useful links
• State Library of Victoria - Contains useful links

Again if you are from another country try a Google search for census records or try Ancestry.com.au as they also have links to Canadian,UK and US census data.

I hope that this information has been useful for you, and that you have had some success in finding what you were looking for.

See you again soon.
