Florida State Genealogical Society will present “Making Those Early Census Records Talk” on Thursday, Sept. 19 at 8 p.m. Federal census records are one set of the most widely used genealogical resources. Census records before 1850 are often ignored. These records are especially helpful to genealogists because of their availability, genealogical value and data consistency. The pre-1850 census records can answer a large number of questions and provide additional clues. Case studies will show how they may be used effectively.
