That automated geneology sites census info is transcribed from the national Archives records. Below is the link for the NA (National Archives) and if you scroll down you will see either censuses you can search online (including the easier accessed ones on automated geneology site) or learn how you can view them. Many still on microfiche.

NOTE: the censuses info viewable are ACTUAL IMAGES OF THE CENSUS pages!!! Automated Geneology is awesome, as you can search by name and locations and names linked to past or future censuses, etc. Amazing job of transcribing and putting it all online for the public, hey?
