Many people begin their genealogy research starting with the widely available
U.S. census records. The U.S. began taking a census every 10 years starting in 1790. The records from 1790 to 1840
contain only the name of the head of the household and limited information about the other individuals in the residence.
That changed in 1850 when the census began listing each member of the household individually. Look how Alabama has grown! The following table details the population of the state from it's first census through 1940. The 1940 census is the last year currently available for genealogy use. The 1950 census won't be available until 2022. Information is shown for 1890, but that census was mostly lost due to a fire and mishandling in the 1920's and 1930's. |

If you still have family living in Alabama today, they may live in one of the larger cities of:
Birmingham, Decatur,
Huntsville, Mobile,
Montgomery or Tuscaloosa. Chances are their ancestors came from Africa,
England, Ireland or Germany. Their religion is likely one of the Christian denominations. They may work at one of the companies based in Alabama, like Healthsouth, O'Neal Steel, Protective Life, Regions Financial or Vulcan Materials. Some of them may enjoy eating a warm tomato tart or a sweet potato pie. They probably root for the Crimson Tide or Auburn Tigers or maybe the Huntsville Havoc or Montgomery Biscuits. You might find them on one of the many golf courses or at Talladega for the NASCAR race. |
