Census Search Help


This search box is used to search the census records only. This search function works like any other search engine. Simply type in a name, a year, and a location if you know it, to help narrow down your search. In the resulting page, choose a link to see the results. You will be taken to the main page for that census year, and the county the name was found in. In addition, the district you selected by clicking the link will also be automatically be selected. You will be presented with all the census data in the form of a table.
To further narrow down your search, type the name or a few letters of the name you are looking for in the green box above the last name box. The table will then automatically resize, with the letters you typed shown highlighted in yellow. To clear the search box, use the backspace key, or select all the text, and click delete, or click the clear filters button to the right of the help link at the top of the table.

You can also print the census trancription by clicking the link "Click Here To Print This Transcription" near the bottom of the page. When you click this link, a new window will open, which contains the census data only. If you want to print the whole page, press CTRL & P on your windows PC, or CMD & P on your Mac to open the print dialog box. Then click print. If you want to print only the names you are interested in, use the search filter box as you did before to narrow down your search. When you are ready to print, press CTRL & P on your windows PC, or CMD & P on your Mac to open the print dialog box. Then click print.
