We've had several messages about census records lately so maybe it's time to review the places where you can find them. I'm listing the sources I use below. Some census records are available on line as part of the USGenWeb project. For NC records, go to either http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/census/states/northcar/northcar.htm or http://www.usgenweb.org/census/states/northcar/northcar.htm and you'll find a table of what is available, by year and by county. ******* John Longstreet Rhymes maintains the following page: http://wymple.gs.net/~longstrt/nc.html This page lists volunteers who will do lookups in census records that are not yet on line. ******* Ancestry.com has indexes to the heads of household, but these records are not in their regular free databases. ******* You can also get NC census records on microfilm from the National Archives, or on loan from them through your local public library, or at the NC state library in Raleigh, Wilson Library at UNC in Chapel Hill, and probably other sites as well. The Family History Centers of the LDS (Mormon) church also have the census microfilms. Elizabeth Harris state coordinator, NCGenWeb http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncgenweb/
