Hi, Since this is a major brick wall for me, I thought I'd repost my Jefferson county interests. Does anyone know where I can access the information on the 1830 & 1840 Hounsfield censuses? Thanks, Pam 1 Edward DOLAN +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Birth: 1796, USA Death: Home: 1871, Belleville, ON, Canada Census: 1830, Hounsfield, Jefferson, NY, USA Census: 1840, Hounsfield, Jefferson, NY, USA Occ: Plasterer Reli: Episcopal Methodist An Edward Dolan of the US is listed in Hastings Co. (Belleville) in the 1871 census, along with an Edward Dolan Junior. They are listed as Irish origin, born in USA, and EM for religion. I believe this is probably Elizabeth’s father and brother.
