Kentucky Census NotesKentucky state census records: Unfortunately, there are not any KY state censuses known to exist. Soundex code indexes for Federal Kentucky census records are available on microfilm for census years: 1880, 1900, 1910, 1920 and part of 1930 which contains only Bell, Floyd, Harlan, Kenton, Muhlenberg, Perry and Pike Counties. Federal Kentucky census records are available to the public for census years: 1810, 1820, 1830, 1840, 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880, 1900, 1910, 1920 and 1930. See 1790-1930 US Census Records at Ancestry. 1790 and 1800 Federal Kentucky census records are missing, however, there are reconstructed lists created from tax lists and they have been published in book form. These provide somewhat of a census substitute. Keep in mind that Kentucky was formed in 1792 so records previous to that were actually located in Virginia. See 1790 Reconstructed Census for Kentucky at Ancestry & 1800 Reconstructed Census for Kentucky at Ancestry. Both of these databases were created using Kentucky Tax Lists. The 1890 Kentucky Federal Census schedules were completely destroyed by a 1921 warehouse fire, however, The 1890 Veterans and Widows census did survive the fire and can prove helpful in genealogy research. See A Fire Destroyed the 1890 Census, Learn what questions were asked in each census year and where to find census records online. This section of Census Finder covers each census year from 1790-1930 and will give you clues and tips to help you learn to locate your ancestors quickly in census records.

Kentucky (Statehood: 1792) Early settlements of Kentucky include Harrodsburg in 1774 and Boonesboro, founded 1775 by Daniel Boone. Between 1776 and 1780, Kentucky was known as Kentucky County, Virginia. The early years of the area were extremely difficult for settlers as Indians fought for the land they held dear and many lives were lost in the ensuing battles. The first three counties were organized in 1780. They were Fayette, Jefferson & Lincoln. These original counties were divided into the many known counties of today. There are many free census records online for Kentucky.
