Hi Cindy,

Dear Ms. Dillinger,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

We searched the National Archives Catalog and located the Population Schedules for the 1830 Census, Population Schedules for the 1840 Census, Population Schedules for the 1850 Census, the Population Schedules for the 1860 Census, the Population Schedules for the 1870 Census, the Population Schedules for the 1880 Census, in the Records of the Bureau of the Census (Record Group 29) that may contain records of William M. Dillinger with his parents.   Some of these schedules have been digitized in part.  For access to the non-digitized schedules, please contact the National Archives at Washington, DC - Textual Reference (RDT1) via email at archives1reference@nara.gov. 

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and pursuant to guidance received from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), NARA has adjusted its normal operations to balance the need of completing its mission-critical work while also adhering to the recommended social distancing for the safety of NARA staff. As a result of this re-prioritization of activities, you may experience a delay in receiving an initial acknowledgement as well as a substantive response to your reference request from RDT1. We apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your understanding and patience.

For information about the U.S. Census, see the Census Bureau technical documentation and questionnaires.

You may wish to search Ancestry.com for the U.S. Census. There may be a fee for using Ancestry. Instead, some of the images from Ancestry are available for free on Family Search or at your local library. Many library systems subscribe to these sites, making them free for their patrons.

Death Certificates often contain parental information, therefore we suggest that you search the Iowa, County Death Records, 1880-1992 FamilySearch index and/or request a death record search from the appropriate County Clerk of Court or the State Historical Society of Iowa.  Also, please review the FamilySearch Research wiki for Iowa Vital Records.

We also suggest that you search for William Dillinger’s birth certificate at the Pennsylvania Births and Christenings, 1709-1950 FamilySearch index, the Ohio, County Births, 1841-2003 FamilySearch index, and the Indiana Births and Christenings, 1773-1933.  Also, please review the FamilySearch Research wiki for Pennsylvania Vital Records, Ohio Vital Records, and Indiana Vital Records.

We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your family research!
