1856 Iowa State Census

The 1856 census is the only census which asked the question how long people had been a resident of the state of Iowa. Because of this one question the 1856 Iowa State Census stands out as one of the most helpful early census records for the genealogist searching for ancestors in Iowa.

This census is hard to read in many respects. As we all know, older records are inherently hard to decipher. Capital "L" and "I" are almost indistinguishable one from the other. Lower case "n" and "v" are also hard to determine. Even though every attempt has been made to check and double check these records for errors the researcher is advised to look at all possible spellings when using this index. I'm sure there are errors on the part of the enumerator as well as in creating the index.   Sherry Hess Jones / Spanaway, WA
