In 2022, FamilySearch digitized many of the Census Records held in the CT State Archives. Though not searchable by name, researchers may access these records using pdfs created by library staff to view the original records. These are state copies of the federal records and may contain different or additional information. In addition to Population schedules, Agricultural, Industrial, Mortality and Social Statistics schedules are included.
Special federal census schedules can provide valuable information for historians and genealogists. They include:
- Industrial (manufacturing) schedules, which include information on name of owner, location, number of employees, type and quantity of equipment, articles manufactured, and production figures. In addition to the census years above, we hold a microfilm copy of the 1820 Industrial Census, call number 317.46 C76c 4i Roll 4
- Agriculture schedules, which can be used to document land holdings of individuals
- Social statistics schedules, which include brief histories and statistical information for churches, societies, clubs, and other groups as well as names and locations of cemeteries
- Mortality schedules, which list deaths for the twelve months preceding the date of the census
- "Defective, dependent, and delinquent" schedules which include information on "deaf-mutes", "blind", "insane", "idiots", "homeless children", "inhabitants in prison", and "pauper and indigent inhabitants"
