1664-1666 Census for Mo can be found at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah This census was taken by the local civil authorities. It lists the names of the farms, farmowners (including widows), sons of farm owners, male farm hands, cottagers and sons of cottagers and the age of each person. (Usually only males from the age of 12 years and older, but in some cases all males from birth were listed). The clerical authorities took a census during this same time period. Both censuses should be used as they supplement each other. The clerical census is usually more complete.
