Census records are a very popular record for family research. Oftentimes, it's one of the first records a researcher will look at. It gives you a wealth of information.

Phillip and Trisha talk about census records, how they can be used, good information to look for, and where to find them. 

Phillip also takes a dig at the government for not changing the 72-year rule for census records. Spoiler alert: He doesn't care for it!
