We've had several messages about census records lately so maybe it's time
to review the places where you can find them. I'm listing the sources I
use below.

Some census records are available on line as part of the USGenWeb project.
For NC records, go to either

http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/census/states/northcar/northcar.htm

or

http://www.usgenweb.org/census/states/northcar/northcar.htm

and you'll find a table of what is available, by year and by county.

John Longstreet Rhymes maintains the following page:

This page lists volunteers who will do lookups in census records that are
not yet on line.

*******

Ancestry.com has indexes to the heads of household, but these records are
not in their regular free databases.

You can also get NC census records on microfilm from the National Archives,
or on loan from them through your local public library, or at the NC state
library in Raleigh, Wilson Library at UNC in Chapel Hill, and probably
other sites as well. The Family History Centers of the LDS (Mormon) church
also have the census microfilms.
