You can download (FREE) a (blank) copy of the 1840 U.S. census form here: http://www.ancestry.com/save/charts/census.htm and see what information was collected (FYI: there is a place for only the names of the heads of households, NOT for the rest of the household member's names on this form.) The listing by name of all members in residence in the household names began in 1850. dianne -----Original Message----- From: DANA PENSADO [mailto:dana.pensado@sbcglobal.net] Sent: Monday, June 13, 2005 5:20 PM To: HENRY-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [HENRY] Could some one do a lookup for Branch Co. MI. 1840 Census ? In my experience in checking census records, they DO list everyone who was living in the home at that time, including the head of household. The only instance that you would not find a name is if a child was under 6 mos. It was usually because the parents had not named the it yet.
