Census

I just competed the fifth lesson in the HGS home study course dealing with census records.  While I didn't really learn anything I hadn't known or heard before about using the census, I did find the checklist very useful.
 No. 12 Charlie J. Webb (1874-1937)
            1880, Arkansas, (named male, 6 yrs, in household of his father Zephaniah Webb)
            1890, Arkansas, (no census for Arkansas due to fire damage to census)
            1900, Pope Co., Arkansas, (Head of household, 25 yrs)
            1910, Pope Co., Arkansas, (Head of household, 35 yrs)
            1920, Pope Co., Arkansas, (Head of household, 45yrs)
            1930, Pope Co., Arkansas, (Head of household, 55 yrs)
No. 13 Roxie Anna Hughes (1876-1961)
            1880, Arkansas, (named female, 4 yrs, in the household of her father)
            1890, Arkansas, (no census for Arkansas due to fire damage to census)
            1900, Arkansas, (named female, 24 yrs, in the household of her father)
            1910, Pope Co., Arkansas, (wife, 34 yrs, in the house of her husband, Charlie Webb)
            1920, Pope Co., Arkansas, (wife, 44 yrs, in the household of her husband, Charlie Webb)
            1930, Pope Co., Arkansas, (wife, 54 yrs, in the household of her husband , Charlie Webb)
14. Dennis C. McFadden (1847-1924)
            1850, Ireland
            1860, Ohio, (named male, 13 yrs, possibly in the household of his  sister, Unk Ferry)
1870, Pennsylvania, (head of household, 23 yrs)
            1880, Pennsylvania, (head of household, 33 yrs)
            1890, (no census for Pennsylvania due to fire damage to census)  
1900, Washington Co., Pennsylvania, (head of household, 53 yrs)
            1910, Washington Co., Pennsylvania, (head of household, 63 yrs)
            1920, Allegheny Co., Pennsylvania, (head of household, 73 yrs)
15. Elizabeth Neuland (1866-1949)
            1870, Maryland or Pennsylvania, (named female, 4 yrs, in the household of her father, Lewis Neuland)
            1880, Pennsylvania, (named female, 14 yrs, in the household of her father, Lewis Neuland)
            1890, (no census for Pennsylvania due to fire damage to census)
            1900, Washington Co., Pennsylvania, (wife, 34 yrs, in the household of her husband, Dennis McFadden)
            1910, Washington Co., Pennsylvania, (wife, 44 yrs, in the household of her husband, Dennis McFadden)
            1920, Allegheny Co., Pennsylvania, (wife, 54 yrs, in the household of her husband, Dennis McFadden)
            1930, Baltimore, Maryland, (named female, 64 yrs, in the household of her son Cornelius McFadden)
Before when I searched for census records it was more scatter shot and I really didn't have anything planned out.  Using this I think will be very beneficial, time wise. 
I'd also like to create a spreadsheet for this so I can search it and not have to scroll or flip through several pages to find what I am looking for.
