Navigating the New York Census with Fewer Tears Sunday, December 18, 10 a.m. Jewish Genealogical Society of Sacramento Albert Einstein Residence Center, 1935 Wright St., Sacramento For those with relatives in New York during the early part of the 20th century, obtaining census data about them has often been often difficult. Now, thanks to genealogy Web pioneer Steve Morse, things are a little easier. On December 18, you can be part of the first audience to hear from Steve about his newest one-step research focus: the New York state censuses for 1905, 1915 and 1925. Steve, internationally known for his work in simplifying the Ellis Island data base and other Web sites (see www.stevemorse.org) will once again address the Jewish Genealogy Society of Sacramento. There were several state censuses taken in New York starting from 1790. Steve says the most valuable for genealogical purposes are the 1905, 1915, and 1925 censuses because that was a time of a large influx of immigration. While these censuses must there were assorted aids for navigating through those censuses, they were often hard to use, covered only specific years or boroughs, and were not available at all libraries. Steve's one-step Web site rectifies that situation by putting a universal finding aid online that covers all the New York City boroughs in each of the three census years. Come learn more on Sunday, December 18. For more information,contact the Sacramento Jewish Genealogical Society at jgs_sacramento@yahoo.com or leave a message at 916-486-0906 ext. 361.
