State Census (Not U.S. Federal)

Unlock the power of U.S. State Censuses for genealogy research! In this episode of Genealogy TV, learn how state-level censuses—many available on Ancestry and FamilySearch—can help you fill in gaps between federal census years. We’ll show you where to find them, how to search for them effectively, and why they’re essential for building a stronger family history. A companion handout with links to every U.S. state’s online archives and census collections is available to channel members.
