Census Records - Enumeration Districts
U.S. Federal Census records are divided into groups by state, then
county, and in many cases by townships and enumeration districts as
well. Enumeration districts are subdivisions used by census takers and
other governmental representatives to further break down the geography
of a given area beyond the county and/or township level. Browsing the
census records by enumeration district 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.
