Changes

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.

The 1830, 1840, and 1860 census gives the name and the page number.  The page number refers to the stamped number.  The second half of the 1830 index groups the names by township.  This provides the researcher with a snap shot of the neighbors of his or her ancestor.  The 1830 index for [[Wayne County, Ohio]] was the only one compiled in this manner.
