Hi Joanne Gaudio, There are Federal censuses available on microfilm for the years from 1790 to 1930. There are New York State Censuses available on microfilm for the years from 1835 to 1925. Not every county is available for all of the census years. Go online to <http://www.familysearch.org/> www.familysearch.org to see which censuses are available at the LDS Family History Centers. These censuses are available in many libraries also. It will cost you about $6.00 per reel of microfilm at the Family History Centers. You will be able to view each reel you order for about 3 weeks.
