Donna, NJ has both 1905 & 1915 on microfilm. There is NO INDEX for any of the state census records. The microfilms are at the State Archives where anyone can go & use them. And although the Archives staff does handle some simple mail requests (for a fee, of course) they don't do the state census requests, because of the lack of index.!! I believe microfilm rolls are available from the LDS. I haven't used them yet, the thought of scrolling through and reading all those census pages, keeps me putting this task at the bottom of my 'to do' list. <g> Hope this helps, Maureen ==================================== On Wed, 23 Mar 2005 10:34:45 -0500, Donna Luzzi <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear Folks, > Would anyone know if NY or NJ had a 1905 or 1915 census?? and is it online?? > > thanks for any help > best regards and this very wet day here in Va.

My $.02... I've used the New Jersey State Census records for Bergen County and while it did take a while to locate the several families I was looking for in Maywood, a hour or so? Not too long a time in my mind. So if you have at least a county and/or town name it shouldn't be too hard to locate the family of your search. I have also used the New York State census films for Queens County and again, because Queens is broken down into 'towns', I was able to locate my families relatively easily there. Now, I have not tackled Manhattan or Brooklyn where I know several of my families were residing and should show up on one or more of the NY state census records... I guess it would help if one knows the EDs from previous and next census, but I too have cringed at the thought of trying to scroll through reels and reels of microfilm...
