Hi Everyone: We were all new to genealogy at one time and everyday we still learn (and forget things). A very good source for census lists is your local LDS (family history library.) If they dont have the mircofilm in stock they can get them for you within a very short period of time (for me usually a week, although I am in Calif therefore closer to Utah than Some). For those who are new to research the library usually has a list of all the census up until 1920. You can look the number you need up on microfische or on their computer and then simply order it. The cost in calif is 3.50 and the library holds it for you for 2 mos. Not only do they have the census records but they also have local history for each state. My daughter lives in D.C. and I go back often and do go to the library of congess regularly (and love it) but usually come back lhome to my local FHC for census lookups. Mainly as I can take my time and read them. I belong to several genealogical societys in OK, and Ar as well as an active member in my local one and we have a very nice library and meet every week but we all also into each other at our FHC. Give it a try. If you are like me and not close enough to go to Okla History Society library you will love it very much.
