FootNote
The new kid on the block, FootNote is known for digitizing historical
documents... many of which are genealogical gems. With naturalizations,
city directories, war records, newspapers, town records, etc... this new
kid is quickly being recognized as an alternative to Ancestry.
While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
Utah Census online research should begin with
what is available online for free. If this proves fruitful then
congratulations! If not, then I would suggest signing up for the online
census images (links to the right) where you can access all the available
online Utah federal census information directly from your computer at
home.
There are various "state census"
lists which can be consulted for periods of time between some of the
federal census years. These were taken in 1852, 1856, 1872, and 1896. Only
the 1856 has been published to my knowledge*. You can also obtain from
your nearest FHL a microfilm of the Bishops Report for 1852 which lists
ward by ward heads of households.
* The 1856 enumeration for statehood has been challenged
as it appears many of the enumerated were not yet living in Utah. So
though it accurately reflects those who were members of the LDS Church, it
does not server as an accurate reflection of the residents of Utah in
1856.
