(Click to see larger image)
Grow your family tree with this data:
Pinpoint a family's location at a particular time. When you know where a family lived, you know where to look for other important records, such as county records of births, marriages, and deaths. Also, with the information from the census index, you can find a copy of the original census record. Depending on the census year, you may learn more important family information, such as the names, ages, and birthplaces of the other individuals in the household.

What does this product give you?
This data set indexes approximately 4,313,000 census records gathered from various U.S. counties in 1870. The District of Columbia and the following 31 states are represented:

Alabama Massachusetts
Arkansas Maine
California Minnesota
Colorado Montana
Delaware Nevada
Florida North Carolina
Georgia New Dakota
Idaho South Dakota
Illinois Texas
Indiana Virginia
Iowa Washington
Kansas Wisconsin
Kentucky Wyoming
Louisiana    

Please note that the state names listed here refer to current U.S. state lines, rather than the territory demarcations that may have existed when the record was taken. By presenting the data in this way, we intended to remove a major obstacle for modern researchers who may not necessarily know where territory boundaries were drawn during each particular era of American history. For example, you may know that your ancestors originated in present-day Alabama, but you may not know that, in 1790, Alabama was part of the Spanish province of West Florida.

If you find your ancestor's name, our U.S. Census Subscription can provide you with a copy of the census schedule page containing their record. Looking at the original census schedule will further help you determine if you have found information about your ancestor or just someone with the same name. If you discover that the individual is your ancestor, then you can add information from the census schedule to your family tree.

Also, not every county in every state is included in this data set. For a complete breakdown of the counties covered followed by the number of individuals recorded click here.
