I am still unclear as to your query. It appears from the censuses that your great-grandfather's parents were Gustave b b1878 and Sophi (or Sofi) and his parents were Gustave b c1857 in Germany and Josephine.People: Canton, Wiseman, Colthup, Scrace
Places: Pembrokeshire, Kent.

It might be a good idea if you are just starting out to have a look at the Getting Started pages in our reference library here :
It is very comprehensive in showing what first steps you need to take with lots of links to various sites for searching.
How can you be sure for example that these are your great grandparents? Do you have your parents and Grandparents birth and marriage certificates?Last edited by Katarzyna; 23-05-17, 21:50.Kat

My great grandfather's census is the census in my original post. My great-great grandfather is Gustave married to Sophie and his father was married to Josephine. Figured that out. I don't know how to continue research from my great-great-great grandfather's census. how do I get access to an even earlier census than the one of my great-great-great grandfather?

I am assuming you have seen this 1900 census for Holyoke City, Mass.
This is the earliest census I can see for Gustave and Josephine. He immigrated in 1867.
I think you will need Ancestry in order to find the earlier censuses. Perhaps someone with Ancestry Worldwide or Ancestry .com can help you out here.
Knowing his date of immigration have you looked for US passenger list arrivals ?Last edited by Katarzyna; 23-05-17, 22:57.Kat

I'm taking an introductory college course in genealogy and I think I misunderstood some things about finding censuses...its hard to explain but I think I get what the problem was now. Thanks everyone for your help I'm going to use the helpful links you gave me -ancestry.com and the familytree.com one to get started. I think I can take it from here, thanks guys!
