Where can I find past US censuses for free?

Question:

Where can I find past US censuses for free?

I have been able to look at the 1880 census from familysearch.org, but I want to look at more. Where can I find a website to look at these for free?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: There is no website that offers the other censuses for free. Ancestry.com is the best option to look at all the censuses but of course to subscribe. Sometimes there are free trials when you could use it for 14 days or so for free and try to look at all the censuses you need.

Another option is that there are some websites where people will do free lookups, but you can't expect too much.

If you really do not want to pay, you could order the microfilm at a local LDS Family History Center, but microfilm is not nearly as easy as a website, especially when it's indexed.

Good luck,
Dave
