In studying census records it is likely that many more questions are generated than answers.  Census data found in national, state and local archives is rich with factors that generate questions.  For example, the agricultural census in Kansas has interesting details such as the numbers of livestock killed by predators.  Census data combined with primary sources from the time period under examination combine to provide a rich source of information for studying historical events, motives of historical figures and the influence of history on our present state and the attitudes and actions of present day peoples.  Students reviewing such data often are stimulated to ask deeper questions or divergent questions spinning off from the original research.  KanCRN encourages students to ask such questions and design additional studies to find answers to them.   Click on the Guided Research side of the Vee diagram or one of the links under Guided Research on the left column in order to receive more assistance with conducting historical research using a specific example from Kansas City, KS.  If you have an idea for a new research project and feel comfortable with starting it on your own then you will eventually publish your work on the KanCRN site.  In order to do this click on the publish button on the KanCRN vee diagram or click on publish on the left column on this page.
