http://www.archives.state.al.us/referenc/census.html Federal Census The federal government began collecting population census data in 1790. The federal census in Alabama was first enumerated in 1820. Since that time censuses have been taken every ten years. The most recent census that is available to the public is the 1920 census. However, it is possible to request data about a deceased relative from the U. S. Bureau of the Census for censuses since 1920. The Alabama Department of Archives and History has federal census enumerations of Alabama for the following years: Population 1820 - index+census 1830 - index+census 1840 - index+census 1850 - index+census 1860 - index+census 1870 - index+census 1880 - soundex+census 1890 - Perry County (beats 8 & 11 only) - no index 1900 - soundex+census 1910 - soundex+census 1920 - soundex+census Special Agriculture 1850-1880 Mortality 1850-1880 Slave 1850-1860 Social 1850-1870 Industrial 1850 Manufactures 1880 Defective, Dependent, and Delinquent classes 1880 State Census The Alabama Department of Archives and History has State census enumerations for Alabama for the following years: 1820--no index (8 counties only: Baldwin, Conecuh, Dallas, Franklin, Limestone, St. Clair, Shelby, Wilcox) name of head of household; free white males and females in age categories; number of slaves and free persons of color in age categories. 1850--no index: name of head of household; free white males and females in age categories; number of slaves and free persons of color in age categories. 1855--index (14 counties: Autauga, Baldwin, Blount, Coffee, Franklin, Henry, Lowndes, Macon, Mobile, Montgomery [on film, but not included in the index], Pickens, Sumter [not on microfilm and not included in the index], Tallapoosa, Tuscaloosa): name of head of household; number of free white males and females in age categories; number of slaves and free persons of color in age categories. 1866--no index: name of head of household for African-Americans and whites; number of females and males in age categories.
