State Census Records
Ann S. Lainhart
Volume totaling
116
pages. Book is in new condition.    Just  what you need for genealogy research. Per the publisher;
State censuses rank with federal censuses as a major  genealogical resource, but, because they were taken randomly, remain a much  under-utilized resource in American genealogy. State censuses not only stand as  substitutes for some of the missing 1790, 1800, 1810, and 1890 censuses (as well  as many county and statewide enumerations lost or destroyed between 1790 and  1890) but also as valuable population enumerations in their own right. Many  state censuses, for example, asked different questions than the federal census,  so they record information that cannot be found elsewhere in federal schedules.
Ann Lainhart's inventory of state census records is the  first comprehensive list of state census records ever published. State by state,  year by year, often county by county and district by district, she shows the  researcher what is available in state census records, when it is available, and  what one might expect to find in the way of data. In this way Ms. Lainhart has  removed one of the last uncharted territories in American genealogy, opening up  a range of fresh opportunities for the researcher.
