Parts of the 1800 census for Boston or much of the Suffolk area does not exist. Individuals should look towards the 1798 US Direct Tax for Boston, accessible on Microfilm through the New England Genealogical and Historical Society; or the Tax Valuation List of 1800, where the original can be found at the Massachusetts State Library.
