Now maybe there were other ones since it states that "any censuses not covering a majjority of the state are not included..." johnsong@spot.colorado.edu wrote: > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Surnames: Alford > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ZmB.2ACE/2170 > > Message Board Post: > > Albert Alford supposedly was born about 1818 in VT. He resided in Lewis County, NY, 1850. He may have had a sister, Clarinda, and their father would also be Albert. Are there any VT state censuses - or other kinds of records I can check? I have not found them on the Federal Censuses. > > johnson > > ==== VERMONT Mailing List ==== > ***IMPORTANT*** Do not list the names, addresses and/or phone numbers of anyone other than yourself on this list.
