Census Records Some Census Records for Edgefield
County are in the SCGenWeb
Archives for Edgefield
County. South Carolina became a state in 1788. The first
census available for South Carolina is in 1790. Edgefield
County has census records available for each 10 year period
with the exception on 1890 in which there is not considered
to be a census available for any state. South
Carolina State Archives has many
historical records associated with census information taken
at different times over the last two hundred years. Please
check their holdings along with the libraries. Overview The first Federal Census for South Carolina is for
1790. Census records are available for each decade (except
for 1890 where the majority of records were destroyed). 1790 through 1840 had only counts of individuals
by age group listed in one line under the name of the head of
household. Although these records can be difficult to use to
gather information for an individual, they can be used to
track summary information by household including the number
of individuals living in the house (note: those listed may
not be all related) and the movements of the families. Starting in 1850, the Federal Census recorded the
name and gender of each family member, their marriage status,
and the year and place (state or country) of their
birth. In 1880, the birthplace of each
individual's parents was recorded as well. The 1900 Census provide both the month and year of
birth, years married, number of children born to the marriage
with number still living, along with immigration and
naturalization details. Schedules Here is a set of files that show the Census
Schedules from 1790-1930. You will need

1790 1800 The National
Archives and Records Administration has
its census microfilm catalogs on-line. Their worldwide web
page has a section tailored specifically for the genealogist.
NARA also has a very reasonable microfilm rental
program where genealogists may rent films through the mail
and view them at their local libraries for a period of time.
Contact the reference librarian at your local library for
more information about that program. Send Comments about this
