Templates for US Census Records from 1850 to 1940.

These templates can be copied and pasted into references or directly into a biography. Simply replace the placeholders ( Name, Sex, Age, etc) with the indexed data from a census source.

Basic Table Example

What you type:

{|border="1" cellpadding = "4" style="text-align: center"
!colspan="11" style="text-align: center; background:#EAECF0"|Title "Census Name"
|-
!Header 1
!Header 2
!Header 3</br> !Header 4
!Header 5
!Header 6
|-
|Data 1||Data 2||Data 3||Data 4||Data 5||Data 6 |-
|}

What it looks like:

Title "Census Name"
Header 1	Header 2	Header 3	Header 4	Header 5	Header 6
Data 1	Data 2	Data 3	Data 4	Data 5	Data 6

The templates below are intended to be used for inline references and all include reference names (example <ref name="1850 Census>) which you can use to cite the record multiple times using the following tag:

<ref name="Example Census Name Goes Here"/>

If the tables are not meant to be used inline, remove the reference tags (< ref name="...">......</ref>) at the beginning and end of the template.
