The AIS Indexes (Accelerated Indexing Systems)- US Census Indexes, are
on microfiche through your LDS Family History Center. The AIS indexes are alphabetical listings of some of the people living in the US between 1607 and 1906. The listings were compiled from various sources such as state census', tax lists, indentured servant lists, residence lists, oath of allegiance lists, petition list, muster rolls, voter lists, probate records, veterans schedules, slave schedules, passenger lists, and mortality schedules. For the years 1790 and later, information from the federal census is also included (there was no Federal Census before 1790). The indexes usually provide enough information about individuals listed, that you should be able to find them in the original record.
Each AIS index covers ten or more years and a large geographical area,
such as several states, which will make it easier to find an ancestor.

To confirm the data in the AIS census indexes, one should consult the original source documents which are usually noted in the AIS data.

The United States government has transcribed the 1790 censuses for 11 states. They are available as books for Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, and Vermont. The books are also available on microfilm or microfiche. In the front of the book is the census; in the back of the book is an index by last name, then first name. These are the original census schedules for 1790. Schedules for some counties are missing.

No schedules are known to exist for Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky, New Jersey, Tennessee, and Virginia. However, census substitutes for those six states exist (1790 Census substitute index) and  Georgia, Kentucky, New Jersey and Tennessee are at the end of this listing.

The above is not a *COMPLETE* list of the 1790 Census Index.

NOTE: Use this data as a finding tool, just as you would any other secondary source. When you find the name of an ancestor listed, confirm the facts in original sources.
