Belarus Census 2009

Census records in Belarus are vital for genealogical research, reflecting the country's complex history of shifting borders and governance.

Prior to modern censuses, records can be found in Imperial Russian censuses (1897) and Polish censuses (1921, 1931) for areas once under their control. The Soviet Union conducted censuses in Belarus in 1926, 1937, 1939, and regularly from 1959 until independence in 1991.

These records document names, ages, birthplaces, occupations, and household structures, helping trace Jewish, Polish, Russian, and Belarusian ancestry. While access to older records can be restricted, Belarusian census data remains crucial for uncovering family histories and migrations.
