===Wayne County, OH Indexes to U.S. Census Records===
   −
There is an index to the U.S. census for [[Wayne County, OH]] for the years 1820-1920.  It only indexes the head of the household and any individuals in the household who had a different surname than the head of the household.  The 1930 and 1940 index were not compiled since by the time it became available, digitized images of the census were available through [http://www.ancestrylibrary.com/ Ancestry Library Edition].

Each [[Wayne County, Ohio]] index to the U.S. census is organized a little differently.  There are two indexes for the 1820 U.S. Census.  The index gives the name and the page number.  The page number refers to the handwritten number on the census rather than the stamped number.  This is the only index that refers to the handwritten page numbers.  This can be very confusing for researchers since the handwritten page numbers are not easily seen.  The other index includes an abstract of 1820 U.S. Census and a map showing approximately where the family resided.
