The meat of this two volume census history consists of complete transcriptions of the nine federal censuses of Strafford from 1790-1880, substituting for the missing census of 1820 the 1822 tax list. In addition to the literal transcription, much of the data has been summarized, and to a lesser degree, analyzed. Each census comes complete with an informative introduction which helps to clear up any questions the eager genealogist might have about what was asked; what order the census was taken, what had happened since the last census, or what conclusions may be drawn from the raw data.
