Census information is available for census years 1790 until 1930.  However, data from recent censuses are not available
after 1940 because of a 72-year restriction on access to the Census.  Also most of the 1890 Census was destroyed in a
Department of Commerce fire, though partial records are available for some states.)

Heritage Quest has census information from 1790-1930 as well as 20,000 family and local histories, PERSI, an
index of over 1.9 million genealogical and local history articles, Revolutionary War era pension & bounty-land warrant
application files and Freedman's Bank (1865-1874).
