If you receive this more than once, I am cross-posting it so those who have expressed interest in this information on other county lists may also receive it. Pardon the multiple e-mails if you are on more than one of the lists it is being posted on. SCHEDULE OF COLONIAL, CONTINENTAL, TERRITORIAL, AND STATE CENSUS RECORDS. The years that AL took a State/Territorial census: 1801- 1808 - 1809 - 1810 - 1816 - 1818 - 1820 - 1821 - 1823 - 1832 - 1838 - 1840 - 1850 - 1855 - 1866 - 1875 According to the information in the publication that I have, it states the following: Alabama was settled prior to and/or became a territory, 3 March 1817. It was admitted as a state, 14 Dec 1819. AL was actually a Territory for two years. Prior to this time it was part of the Georgia Territory/State (most of the upper half of the state) and was also part of the Mississippi Territory. Georgia became a state, 2 Jan 1788, Missisippi became a state, 10 Dec 1817. This publication states that there was a census taken for Alabama for the years of 1790 and also 1800 by the "parent" territory. It further states with an asterisk, that part of the census and/or all of the census for the years of 1810 and 1820 are missing, which refers to the Federal Census. Also of note is the fact that the State/Territorial Census was not taken in all areas/counties of the state. To be noted also are the continual changing county lines, where applicable. It list the years of the Federal Mortality Census as: 1850 - 1860 - 1870 - 1880 It is to be noted that it was not taken in all areas/counties, but does not state which ones were not included. The same holds true for the State Census as well as the Territorial Census. Any census available for the state is located at the Alabama Archives in Montgomery, if available. Same with the census that was taken for the Agricultural/Manufacturing census as far as I know. They are also located in research departments of the larger libraries in some counties. I hope this helps some of you who have had inquiries lately in regard to the State Census, and also the Mortality Schedules. Judi Parker
