The census was taken every 10
years, starting with the year 1790. Due to privacy laws census records are
sealed for 72 years (In 2012, the 1940 census will be made public). If you know
where your ancestor lived in a year ending in "0" from 1930 back to 1810 you can
receive an actual page of the census in the census taker's own handwriting.
These copies are made from microfilm.
Cambria County was established
in 1804. First census record available for Cambria County is 1810.
The 1890 census records for Pennsylvania were COMPLETELY destroyed in a fire!
However, you can refer to the Special Veterans Schedule if your ancestor was in
the civil war.
