Guide to the U.S. Federal Censuses, 1790-1920
Keep this book handy when using online databases to find census information. Many County Boundaries changed over time. Don't waste time looking in the wrong county. County maps for each state are clearly outlined and you can see the current county name in a different shade then the county name for each census year. There is no other book on the market that helps you figure out the census records and county lines in the state you are researching.
