When did Augustus issued a decree requiring a census of everyone in the Roman Empire?
Though many say there is no secular proof of a Census earlier than 1 AD, consider this article: 'The proof of history is in the "Chronicle of John Malalas", translated by Matthew Spinka (Univ. of Chicago Press, 1940). John Malalas was a historian of Antioch, Syria (c. 491-578 A.D.). On pages 32-33 he writes: "In the 39th year and the 10th month of his [Augustus'] reign he commanded the taking of a census of all his lands, including all that the Romans held during the consulship of Agrippa II, and of Donatus. And all the earth under the Romans was registered by Eumenes and Attalus, the Roman senators." So by using the October to October calendar Malalas used, it dates the issuance of the decree for this census to JULY, 5 B.C. There is one Suidas - another reliable authority - as well as many others, that add information about Augustus' decree, proving the census in Palestine was conducted the very next year - 4 B.C., the very time Christ was born! Therefore, it seems history does indeed have abundant evidence from both early Christians and early PAGANS to corroborate this census (see the excellent article in Unger's "Bible Dictionary" under "Chronology").'

Roman emperor Augustus order a census of the Roman empire?
He more than likely did order a census. In republican Rome a census was taken every five years, or at least it was supposed to be taken. Augustus continued the traditions of the republic as far as possible. If you are referring to the census mentioned in the New Testament, that was not ordered by Augustus himself, but by the governor of Syria, who had imperium, on behalf of the Jewish priests. An official with imperium acted in the name of the emperor--his orders were the same as being issued by the emperor himself.

Why did Jesus' family go to Bethlehem?
Caesar Augustus made a decree that all the world should be registered, a census should be taken throughout his empire. This census was to take place not at each person's place of residence, but, according to Jewish custom, at the town to which their family originally belonged. The decree of Augustus brought Joseph and Mary to Bethlehem at exactly the right time in order that the Messiah might be born there in fulfillment of prophecy - Micah 5:2. The account is in Luke chapter 2: Luke 2:1- 5 And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. This census first took place while Quirinius was governing Syria. So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city. Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child.
What had Caesar ordered to be taken that required Mary and Joseph to travel to Bethlehem for jesus' birth?
According to Luke's Gospel, Augustus Caesar had ordered a census of all the Roman Empire, for the taxation of its people. If there was such an empire-wide census during the time of Augustus, historians would expect to find mention of it from various sources throughout the empire, but there is nothing known. The author of Matthew's Gospel apparently knew nothing of the census, and the Jewish historian, Josephus, says that the census conducted in the year 6 CE under the Syrian governor Quirinius, was the first Roman census in the eastern Mediterranean area. This census was taken more than ten years after the death of King Herod.

How did Augustus impact the birth of Jesus?
According to Luke's Gospel, Emperor Augustus ordered a census of the whole empire, thus requiring Joseph and Mary to travel from Nazareth to Bethlehem and resulting in Jesus being born in Bethlehem instead of Nazareth. However, there is no record of Augustus ever ordering a census of the whole empire, nor is there any evidence of a census of the Syrian province during the reign of King Herod in Judea. Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says of this, "The best explanation is that, although Luke likes to set his Christian drama in the context of well-known events from antiquity, sometimes he does so inaccurately."
