State Census Records for New England
by Michael J. Leclerc

Only two New England states have surviving state censuses: Massachusetts and
Rhode Island. The only surviving state census schedules for Massachusetts
are 1855 and 1865. For Rhode Island, on the other hand, schedules survive
for 1855, 1865, 1875, 1885, 1905, 1915, 1925, and 1936.

Substitutes for state censuses for other New England states and time periods
can often be located. There was a special Military Preparedness Survey taken
by the state of Connecticut in 1917 that gives information on males over the
age of 18, as well as nurses. All of these records are available on
microfilm from the Family History Library. Check the Family History Library
Catalog under the state name, then the Census subject category.
