https://blog.myheritage.com/2026/11/myheritage-consolidates-all-17-u-s-federal-censuses-into-a-single-enriched-collection/Recently,
MyHeritage.com announced a notable technical milestone with the release of their
United States Consolidated Federal Censuses, 1790–1950 collection.
By applying specialized artificial intelligence to cross-link and eliminate duplicate records across all seventeen available enumerations, MyHeritage.com reduced an estimated 841 million individual census listings down to roughly 588 million consolidated profiles. Rather than querying seventeen isolated databases, researchers can now view an ancestor’s reconstructed timeline—tracking residential changes, household compositions, and family units spanning from childhood to late adulthood—within a single aggregated record.
Here is an example of a search for my Great-grandfather.
You find the collections under the Reasearch Tab and select "United States Consolidated Federal Censuses, 1790 to 1950."
In my early years of doing research, I spent hours and hours reconstructing the census records for one large family. It is amazing to be able to do this as quickly as it is possible now.
