Census Information & Links

Censuses were taken by the state of Wisconsin from 1836, when it was a territory, until 1905. The 1836, 1838, 1842, 1846, 1847, 1855, 1875, 1885, 1895 and the surviving fragments of the 1865 censuses resemble the early federal censuses, listing only the head of a household by name and summarizing the number of others. The 1905 census was the only state census in Wisconsin to list all the members of a household by name.

Microfilm of census are available for viewing at the Wisconsin State Historical Society in Madison or through interlibrary loan. They are also available through a LDS Family History Center and online at commercial sites such as Ancestry and Genealogy.com.
