Tennessee 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 Tennessee census information directly from your computer at home.

The Index link to “ftp://ftp.us-census.org/pub/usgenweb/census/tn/smith/1820/index.txt” asks me for a user name and password. What’s up with that?
This link doesn’t open “ftp://ftp.us-census.org/pub/usgenweb/census/tn/lincoln/1840/partial.txt”. And, as a matter of fact, I could not get any of the indexes to open. Do I need a certain browser? It has been my experience in the past that ftp servers only work for the person uploading the page, not for outsiders. Please fix or respond with instructions.
The links have been fixed. Thanks for informing me of the issue.
