Connecticut Census Records Notes:

Colonial Census Records for Connecticut include:

Grain Inventory for Hartford, Wethersfield and Windsor.  It lists the head of household, number of family members and how many bushels of grain each family had.

The 1670 Connecticut census is a reconstructed census substitute, created by using tax, land, church, freeman and probate records for years 1667-1673.  It contains approximately 2300 persons.

Other early Connecticut census records include 1756, 1762, 1774 and 1776. These statistical censuses don't offer much help to genealogy researchers.

Connecticut State census records are lacking.  There are a few... 1779, 1782, 1798 direct tax documents, 1821 school census for Glastonbury but most of this is not going to be helpful to genealogists either.  

See: More detailed early census information.

The Connecticut Military Census Records of 1917 can be a useful tool in genealogy research of this time period.  

See: 1917 Connecticut Military Census.

Federal Connecticut census records include census years: 1790, 1800, 1810, 1820, 1830, 1840, 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880, 1900, 1910, 1920 & 1930.  These are all available to the public. 

1890 Connecticut Federal census records were completely destroyed in a 1921 fire.
