pages. Is in new  condition. Per the publisher;
Federal censuses have been taken every ten years since 1790. They  are the best known and most commonly used of all genealogical records and have  the unique ability to identify virtually anyone born in the last 250 years.  Because they are so extensive, the careful researcher should be able to find  almost every individual and family being sought.
But where are these records located? How do you access them and  how do you use them? Moreover, with such a wealth of information as name, age,  sex, birthplace, and family relationships, what are their limitations? These  questions and more are answered by professional genealogist Kory Meyerink in  this addition to our popular
Genealogy  at a Glance
series.
Today, most census research is conducted online, with census  images and indexes available from both subscription-based and  non-subscription-based websites. Not all websites have a complete collection of  census records, of course, and Meyerink identifies the censuses that are  available from each website and the nature of the indexes, which are usually  linked to the online image of the census page where the individual appears. (All  censuses older than 72 years have been indexed, and the recently released 1940  census is in process of being indexed.)
As part of the ongoing
Genealogy  at a Glance
series, this  four-page laminated folder also provides 1) tips for research, 2) a list of the  best books for further reference, 3) instructions for online research, 4) a  bulleted list of census search strategies, and 5) and a description of the major  online resources for census research. In keeping with the rest of this  distinguished series, this work provides an encyclopedia’s-worth of information  in a thimble’s-worth of pages.
Just what you need  for genealogy research.
