Census records listing the Whitsett families of Lauderdale County, Alabama from 1810 through 1900

Census Records 1810 - 1900

Lauderdale County, Alabama Whitsett and Related Families
These are extracts from census records and, although I was as careful as possible, they probably contain errors. Beginning with 1850 all members of a household were enumerated. Last names of family members other than the head of the household are usually not included on the actual census records. I have included them here to make it easier to do searches, and because the names are stored in my database that way. The term "DB ID" refers to the number key for that name in my database and should not concern you.  I have included census records from the states where the Lauderdale County families lived after leaving Alabama.
