I am new to the list - I am wondering if there is the 1865 or 1870 Census on line for this county? Any on-line Census records or indexes would help! I am looking for a Charles Cyrus Campbell, born in May 1850 in Canada, lived in Upper Canada/Ontario and was possibly born there. His parents were John or Charles Campbell and Margaret Mc(G)Laughlin, both born in Ireland. In 1861 Charles Cyrus immigrated to the US, likely through Buffalo. I don't know if he came with a relative or one or both of his parents. I'm pretty sure he was in New York State (likely the western half) in 1865 and likely in 1870 as well. By 1872 Charles was married to Margaret O'Keefe (of Canandiagua, Ontario County) and they moved around between Warren County PA and McKean County PA. Thank you! Ginny ginnyo@juno.com

The 1870 returns have been (partially) transcribed for only two New York counties, by the USGenWeb Archives Census Project. See "Completed Transcriptions", http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/census/inv/ny.htm . Ancestry.com would be happy to charge you to look at the 1870 census *index*, which is a copy of the AIS index available at many genealogical libraries, large public libraries, and National Archives branches. (The AIS index covers all of New York State except New York County.) I believe Ancestry wants $60/year, though. I know of no _online_ version of any New York State census, but our own Vee Housman has access to the 1865 census for the Town of Porter. If that might help, you can reach Vee at housman@adelphia.net. > Any on-line Census records or indexes would help! Volunteers are always welcome! If anyone has a couple of hours a week they'd like to devote to getting census records (or marriage indexes, or any other records) online, please drop me a line.... -- Ellen Keyne Seebacher niagara@unchi.org
