State Census Records for Mid-Atlantic States (United States)In the United States, there were several states that, for various political and economic reasons, conducted their own censuses. Generally, these censuses were taken in between the years that the U.S. Federal Censuses were taken (1790, 1800, 1810, 1820, 1830, 1840, 1850 and so on to present-day).State censuses can be as important as the federal census to genealogists, but because not all states took censuses, or because those records may or may not still exist, not many historians check out this valuable resource. Many state censuses asked questions that are quite a bit more specific than the U.S. Federal Census questions, so they include information that cannot be found elsewhere. For example, the 1925 Iowa State Census asked the names of the parents for each individual enumerated. In New York, the 1915 New York State Census asked each individual if they were naturalized, when and where did they naturalize; and the 1855 New York State Census requested the name of the county of birth for each inhabitant born in New York. While not all states took their own censuses, and some have not survived, state and local census records can be found in many locations. Of the Mid-Atlantic States, the following state censuses still exist:
