Census Records of West Feliciana

The first Federal Population Census was taken in 1790, and has been taken every ten years since. However, data from early census records, 1790 – 1840, is somewhat limited in the information they provide. Typically the early census records only give the head of households name and the number of occupants. Starting with the 1850 census all members of the household are listed.  
Important Note: The 1820 Census covers both East and West Feliciana Parish and is listed as “Feliciana Parish.” In 1824 the Parish was split into East and West.
