CensusCensus records can provide the building blocks of your research, allowing you to both confirm information, and to learn more. The first Federal Population Census was taken in 1790, and has been taken every ten years since. However, data from recent censuses are not available after 1930 because of a 72-year restriction on access to the Census. Most researchers find it most helpful to begin with the 1930 Census and work backwards to locate people in earlier generations. If you are new to Census or just need questions answered, an excellent learning and reference tool "The Census Book" can be located here. (Requires Adobe Reader) Kansas was not included in the Federal Census until 1860, but don't overlook the Iowa Census where your Ancestors may have been prior to Kansas becoming a Territory.
