Mississippi Census Notes

Federal Mississippi census records are available to the public for the following census years: 1820, 1830, 1840, 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880, 1900, 1910, 1920 & 1930. See 1790-1930 US Census Records at Ancestry.

1890 MS Census Schedules were completely destroyed by a 1921 warehouse fire, however,  the Veterans and Widows Census did survive and is often used as a census substitute for the 1890 census year. These 1890 schedules are included in the 1805-1890 Mississippi Census at Ancestry.

Soundex code (phonetic indexes) for Federal Mississippi census records are available on microfilm for the following census years: 1880,  1900, 1910, 1920 and 1930.

Mississippi school census records were taken frequently and may be helpful.  The Mississippi Department of History and Archives features a list of published MS school censuses.

Mississippi state census records were enumerated for several years.  Genealogically speaking, these will hold the name of the head of household and number statistics for other members in the household.  They can prove helpful for filling in gaps.  Known MS state census years are 1801, 1805, 1808, 1810, 1816, 1818, 1820, 1822, 1823, 1824, 1825, 1830, 1833, 1837, 1840, 1841, 1845, 1850, 1853, 1860, and 1866.  All of these are incomplete sets of data.  Some of these are online at the Mississippi USGenWeb Census Project.  The others can be viewed on microfilm or published in book form at the Mississippi Archives.  If you are unable to visit the Archives or find them free online, many of these censuses are available at Ancestry. See 1805-1890 Mississippi Census.
