The 1810 census of the Illinois Territory does not exist in its entirety, but what has survived is given here in full. It lists 1,310 heads of families, and, by age groups, the number of free white males and females in each household as well as the number of other free inhabitants and slaves owned. The total represented is over 7,000 persons. The 1818 census, which is arranged by counties, makes up the bulk of this work. It lists over 4,000 heads of families and, for each household, shows the number of free white males over twenty-one, all other white inhabitants, free persons of color, and servants or slaves. This represents an estimated 20,000 persons. In addition, there are notations indicating which heads of households can be found in the federal and state censuses of Illinois for 1820.
Genealogists and other historical researchers have valued the first two editions of this work, often referred to as the genealogist's bible."" The new edition continues that tradition. Intended as a handbook and a guide to selecting, locating, and using appropriate primary and secondary resources, The Source also functions as an instructional tool for novice genealogists and a refresher course for experienced researchers. More than 30 experts in this field--genealogists, historians, librarians, and archivists--prepared the 20 signed chapters, which are well written, easy to read, and include many helpful hints for getting the most out of whatever information is acquired. Each chapter ends with an extensive bibliography and is further enriched by tables, black-and-white illustrations, and examples of documents. Eight appendixes include the expected contact information for groups and institutions that persons studying genealogy and history need to find. ""

This book contains not only the 1820 state census schedules but also notes comparing all discrepancies be tween the names as written in the 1818 territorial, the 1820 state, and the 1820 federal censuses. While in most instances these repre sent merely minor-va'riations in spelling, there are enough marked dis crepancies to indicate that all three sets of returns are necessary to compile a correct list of the pioneers Of each county. Symbols have been used in both volumes to indicate names appearing in the other two censuses. In making this comparison families were not assumed to be identical unless they appeared as residing in approximately the same vicinities. Similarity of names alone was not considered sufh cient unless they were quite distinctive or unless other evidence cor roborated the hypothesis. Names appearing in the federal but not in the state census of 1820 are given in the notes. NO attempt has been made. To compare the number of members ascribed to each family, as the classifications used in the federal census are more detailed than those of the state census, and since it is to be hoped that the 1820 fed; eral census will also be printed before many years.
