Kentucky Census Notes
Kentucky 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 1790-1940 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.
