Hi Virgina, Ancestry.com has a few parts of the NY State censuses. Copies of various portions also exist in a wide array of places. Most of the copies at the NY State Library were destroyed by a fire in 1911. Here's Ancestry's explanation, extracted from Red Book: "Most of the surviving schedules can be found with the county clerk(s), while others may be in the custody of the county historian(s). Microfilmed copies of the censuses can be found in other libraries, repositories, and institutions, such as the Library of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society and the Family History Library." Currently Ancestry's database includes the following counties: 1880 (approx. 27,600 records): * Rockland 1892 (approx. 364,000 records): * Broome * Chautaugua * Essex * Herkimer * Lewis * Orleans * Rockland * Schoharie * Warren * Wayne 1905 (approx. 117,000 records): * Lewis * Orleans * Schoharie * Wayne Tink At 06:32 PM 8/4/10, you wrote: Isn't there also the 1892 NY state census available, which I think is on Ancestry?
