Census Records - Townships

U.S. Federal Census records are divided into groups by state, then county, and in many cases by township as well. Searching the census records by township allows a researcher to see their ancestor in context of their closest neighbors. You may learn additional information about your ancestor by observing their neighbors over a succession of several years.
