I read somewhere a while ago that there were actually census records of a man named Jesus of Nazareth in places like Jerusalem. Is this true?

Unfortunately I can't remember the exact source where I read this information. I was just curious if there were in fact said records.

No truth to this whatsoever. There are no records from the Quirinius census at all. All such public records were destroyed in the first Jewish revolt. Josephus says the Zealots burned down the buildings which housed them in order to remove all records of debt.
