If you wish to order by mail please read these ordering instructions and the general information about the types of records that can be ordered with this form. Mail order reproduction service using this form is available ONLY from: Archives 1 Reference (NWCT1F-Census), Textual Archives Services Division, National Archives and Records Administration, 700 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20408-0001.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

WHAT WE CAN PROVIDE: The National Archives can provide reproductions of specifically identified pages of Federal decennial population census schedules. To receive this reproduction service, you must provide the name of the individual listed, page number, census year, state, and county; for the 1880 through 1930 censuses, also include the enumeration district. For large cities, we also need the ward or parish. Frequently it is possible to use a census index to locate this information. In recent years, many private firms have produced statewide indexes to census records for specific years. These are available throughout the country in libraries that have genealogical collections. In addition to the printed indexes, there are microfilm indexes to the 1900 and 1920 censuses and partial indexes to the 1880, 1910, and 1930 censuses. From these printed and microfilm indexes, you can determine the exact page on which a family was enumerated and then place your order. Electronic versions of this and other forms are available on the NARA website, www.archives.gov. To assist you in your research, relevant reference books, catalogs and pamphlets are available for purchase online at estore.archives.gov.

The National Archives does not search census indexes, nor do we provide census research service by mail.

ALTERNATIVE APPROACHES: Federal population census records, 1790-1930, are available to you for research at the National Archives Building in Washington, DC, and in regional archives located in various parts of the United States (see next page for addresses). Furthermore, many public and private libraries and other research institutions have purchased microfilm copies of Federal censuses. Your local library, genealogical, or other research institution may be able to advise you about the availability of census records in your area.

Microfilm copies of Federal censuses, 1790-1930, and indexes to the 1880 and 1900-1930 censuses can be rented through a program operating in local libraries and historical or genealogical societies. This is a program established by the National Archives with a private contractor. For more information, please contact your local library or visit the NARA web site, www.archives.gov.

Microfilm copies of census records are available for purchase. An entire county or enumeration district for a given state or census year may be on one or more rolls of microfilm. For information about the cost of microfilm, write to: National Archives and Records Administration, Customer Services Center (NWCC2), Room 1000, 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, MD 20740-6001, or call us at 1-86-NARANARA. Include in your inquiry the census year, the state, and the county or enumeration district.
