The perfect episode for the DIY genealogist! We all love a good myth-busting session, and what better topic than the US Census! John needs Kathleen to address his burning census questions!  (Shhh! He didn't like all the answers).

This question/answer session covers census and census substitutes. We cover colonial era enumeration schedules (Musters), as well as Federal census quirks starting in 1790. Don't forget the 1850 and 1860 slave schedules!

We love equipping you a few must-visit resources:
stevemorse.org
 archives.gov (About Census Records)
census.gov (instructions for census taker)
a3genealogy (search bar in upper lefthand corner)

Trust us - you won't want to miss this episode!
