- Census
Forms (printable blank forms from Cyndi's List)
- Census
Records, History and How to Use Them, by Linda Haas Davenport.
- CensusTools, presented
by Gary Minder. The spreadsheets that Gary Minder has created
faithfully reproduce the format of the 1790-1930 U.S. Federal
census, as well as the 1850-1860 Slave Schedules, 1850-1880
Mortality Schedules, 1883 List of Pensioners, and the 1890 Surviving
Veterans and Widows Schedule. In addition to the federal spreadsheets
there is a state census spreadsheet collection which includes
Iowa 1836-1925, Kansas 1865-1925, Massachusetts 1855-1865, Minnesota
1849-1895, New Jersey 1855-1915, New York 1825-1925 and Wisconsin
1836-1905. The Canadian 1851-1901, English 1841-1891, Irish
1821-1911 and Scottish 1841-1891 census spreadsheets are similar
to the U.S. Federal in design and cover the available census
years in each country. (These spreadsheets are available free.)
