   What can you find in the census?
   Census returns can help you determine who your ancestors were, and can also tell you:
   - Where your ancestors were living
   - Who they were living with
   - What their occupations were
   - If they had any servants
   - Who their neighbours were
   - If they had any brothers and sisters
   - What their ages were at the time of the census
   - If they had any disabilities.
   
   As well as giving you the above information, the fact that census returns are taken every ten years also allows you to track the movements of your ancestors through time as they perhaps move house, get married, have children or even change occupations.
   
   The fields which have been transcribed for the census are:
   - First name
   - Middle name
   - Last name
   - Sex
   - Birth place
   - Age
   - Place of residence
   - County
   - Relationship to head of household
   
   Why this collection is so valuable
   Census records are valuable since they can tell you where a person lived at a certain place and time. Censuses were conducted by the federal government and will offer a variety of information, depending on year. Census records can answer questions like where your ancestors were living at the time the census was taken, who they were living with, what their occupations were, who their neighbors were, if they had any brothers and sisters, what their ages were at the time of the census and if they had any disabilities.
   
   Searching the census
   The golden rule of family history is to check the original historical record, or 'primary source', wherever possible. We have provided clear images of the original census enumeration books for you to view once you've found the right family in the indexes. When using census returns you should first search the transcriptions to help locate your ancestor in the census, and then view the original images to validate your findings. It will also help you see the household in the context of surrounding households. This is particularly important as transcribing an entire census is a huge and difficult task, and whilst we have used the expertise of our transcribers and the experience of key representatives from the genealogy community to help us translate the records, it is inevitable that there will be some errors.
   
   Next steps
   With the information you gain from these census records, you will have the information you need to search for vital records in the locality where you found your ancestor. Also, the fact that census returns are taken every ten years also allows you to track the movements of our ancestors through time as they perhaps move house, get married, have children or even change occupations.

   <p>Essex County Herald<br />Publication: Guildhall, Essex, Vermont, USA<br />Date: Oct 30 1875<br />Text: "...Blckford. A good time may be expected. All are invited. Colobrack. Richard Henson, an old and well known resident of Colebrook, died Oct. 23 after an Illness of two days. An Englishman by birth, he came..."<br />About this sourceThe Essex County Herald served the northwestern corner of Vermont for 90 years. Three editors and publishers struggled to get the paper established in the small county seat of Guildhall, including Henry C. Bates in 1873, Osman B. Boyce from 1873 to 1875, and Noah A. Burnham from 1877 to 1878. Burnham moved the paper to the larger commercial village of Island Pond in 1878, and shortly after the move William H. Bishop began his 33-year tenure as publisher and editor. Bishop died in 1911, and first his estate and then his widow and his son operated the Herald until March 1912, when the Herald Publishing Company issued the paper in an updated, 8-page format under editor G.C. Johnston. From 1915 to 1916, David W. Hildreth, who was also associated with the Express and Standard in Newport, Vermont, worked to get the Herald on a secure financial footing. Veteran Vermont editor Charles C. Lord ran the paper until 1919, when young printer Harry W. Osborne began a 44-year career as the Herald’s owner and editor that ended with the paper's final issue in July 1963.Despite Essex County's sparse population and the availability of papers published in nearby St. Johnsbury and Lancaster, New Hampshire, the Herald slowly achieved a respectable circulation and sufficient advertising. From the beginning, the Herald focused on the interests of Essex County. In addition to general news, literary selections, announcements, and editorial opinions on reforms such as temperance and prohibition, suffrage for women, and education, the Herald included reports from local correspondents in Essex County towns, as well as several towns in neighboring counties and across the Connecticut River in New Hampshire.The Herald was committed to Essex County's growth and improvement, which depended in large part on abundant timber and water resources and an efficient transportation infrastructure. Over the years, articles and editorials covered the evolving timber industry and the many wood manufacturing enterprises, the growth of Island Pond as a terminus for the Grand Trunk Railway that connected Maine and Montreal, and tourism based on hunting, fishing, and medicinal springs. Although the paper enthusiastically endorsed economic developments, it also urged conservation of land, water and forest resources. For example, as early as February 1873, an editorial warned Essex County lumbermen that the timber supply was threatened by extensive clear-cutting and recommended conservation measures</p>

   Newspapers are fantastic sources of genealogical and family history information. Birth, marriage, and death announcements, and obituaries, are commonly used items for genealogy. However, ancestors may also be mentioned in articles reporting on local news and events (i.e. social, community, school, sport, or business related events).
