When you’re looking at a U.S. census form, it can be hard to see the year. What’s usually more obvious is the ordinal number, like “Thirteenth Census of the United States Population.” (That would be 1910.)
Because I got tired of squinting, I created a handy chart I keep on my bulletin board, telling me what year is associated with each census.
And I’m glad to offer it to you to use in your own genealogy research.
