Nevertheless, these 'Head of Household' census records can provide information about your ancestors and their extended family. This four-page laminated guide provides background on the 1790-1840 U.S. Federal Census tabulation process, surviving records, enumeration questions (by year), as well as hints for using the census to break down brick walls" -- publisher's description.
