The following CD-ROMS contain indexes to various federal, state, territorial, or provincial censuses and tax lists. Also included are a few other lists that can some times substitute for a census. Most of the lists cover a state, county or parish, but some cover a town, city, or other jurisdiction. With a few exceptions, they list only the heads of households, giving a location and source, but they can be very helpful when attempting to locate an adult male, or when attempting to determine where families of a given surname are to be found, and as a geographic guide to further research. Not all counties in a particular state may be indexed. Note that most of the CDs are arranged by decades rather than by geographic subdivisions.
