    1. Re: [NYGENESE] 1860 census/directory info
    2. Morning! The 1860 census for Genesee County can be accessed at the following site: <A HREF="ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb"> ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb</A> Just click on NY, then follow the links through Genesee and Census, and then select 1860. PLEASE don't just use Ctrl-F to search this census though, as the enumerator STUNK!!!!! Actually, if you take the time to really read some of the entries, you might just find them as "tragically" funny as I did!! I swear I found a name that when said quickly, which WASN'T EASY, appears to be "What did he say?"!!!! It was something like, Whititesey! DEFINITELY NOT a familiar name!!! I can just picture some poor immigrant knowing little English, asking their spouse, "What did he say?", over and over until it "became" the family name of record!! Happy hunting! Joan
