Baptism and Confirmation Information in Early Records Research Guide

In 1852 the Church conducted a census of heads of household living in Utah. The record is commonly referred to as the 1852 Bishops’ Census (CR 1234 1). An index to this collection is available at the Church History Library (M257.14 P949 1967 no. 1).

In 1914 the Church enumerated a census of members and then conducted subsequent censuses in 1920, 1925, 1930, 1935, 1940, 1950, 1960, and 1962. Because of World War II, no census was taken in 1945.
