The U.S. Federal Census is more than just names and numbers. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to decode the changing questions, categories, and quirks of each census year from 1790 to 1950. Discover what details were asked (and what was left out), how to spot inconsistencies, and how each decade’s census can reveal powerful clues about your family’s journey. Patrons who are a part of the waitlist will still receive a link to the program via Zoom. For more information and resources on genealogy
