Using the U.S Census to Determine Family Relationships

Starting in 1900, the U.S. Census gathered information on family relationships. (It actually started in 1890, but most of that census has been lost.) This information of family relationships makes for excellent documentation for genealogy since this is a contemporaneous record of the relationships. Presumably, the information was provided by the head of household or another family member at the time -- rather than relying on the memories of family members. The memories of family members are a problem, for example, with death records. It is not uncommon for family members to make mistakes on the names of parents for aged family members who have died.
