Census Records

The TXGenWeb Rusk County Archives holds complete, transcribed Federal Census records for 1850, 1860, and 1900, as well as jpg images of the 1850 and 1860 records.

You can find a searchable index for the 1850, 1870 and 1900 Federal Census records and the original images at FamilyHistory.com. They also have indexes for the 1860 and 1880 Census Records but no images yet. Unfortunately, the 1870 Census is not searchable by county.

There is a more sophisticated search engine, also located at FamilyHistory.com for the 1880 Federal Census but no images.
