HIST 2440 - History of Missouri: My Family's Neighbors

This is the kind of information that can be gathered by looking at the individual page on which a family's Census data was first recorded: who else lived on the same block? Where were they from? What language did they speak? How many generations lived in a household? What jobs did people have? Did they own or rent their home?

Set up a free account to search for names. You are asked to enter the name, a place where they lived, and an estimated birth year. Once you find results, you can focus on Census results. If the person lived in the same area for a long time, you may see more than one Census year record for that person.
