Census Forms

   To print one or more Census forms:

1. From the Report tab on the Ribbon bar, choose Forms Center
2. Click the plus sign to the left of Census.  This expands the section to display all the census categories.
3. Expand the desired category to view the list of actual census forms available.
4. Click on the census form that you want to print and click Preview.
5. If you want to print more than one census form, make sure you have the Select Multiple Forms option selected.  This places checkboxes to the left of each form name.  You can then select one or more forms before clicking Preview to view them.

Legacy can produce many blank census forms that you can use while extracting information directly from microfilm or online copies of the actual census forms.  The column headings match up with the information contained on the original census forms, making it very easy to pull the information from them.  You can print forms for the 1800 - 1930 United States censuses, the 1851 and 1901 censuses taken in Canada, and the British and Irish forms.  Many other census forms are being added on a continuing basis.  Check the Legacy web site for the latest list.

All census forms can be printed in portrait or landscape mode, however you will find that you have more room to write if landscape is selected.

The font used to print the form headings can be changed if you like, however, the form has been designed around the Arial font which comes with Windows and should be available on all computers (unless it has been uninstalled).
