"The U. S. Census" covers the topic of what is on each of the various census enumerations from 1790 to 1950. It also covers what is unique on each census, the on-population schedules that were taken from time to time, and even takes a peak at state census records. Search strategies and how to use the census to track a family over time is discussed. This is a great chance for you to learn what you need to know to take the full advantage of what can be found on the U. S. Census. Link to the class video Link to the PDF document of the slides
