Call your local public library first. Ours has all the Federal Census reports; some have their own State census reports also. If they do not have these reports on microfilm or do not know where there is free access in your area; the next best bet are the Family History Centers. They are located in many Mormon Churches (Stakes). Call them for the one nearest you. They are very helpful in showing you how to research your family and their library in Salt Lake City has the largest collection of historical data in the world. Most of this information is on microfilm or microfiche that you can rent for a very small fee and research at their local library (this includes all the Census reports for here and some for other countries). Happy Hunting. Joyce There are some parts of census reports on line.
