Bill, I have done a similar thing for the Olmsted family farms in Hope, Montgomery Co. (1825 Census) and in Borodino, Onondaga Co. (1855, '65 and '75). You can see the results in the Onondaga County Genweb site, at http://www.rootsweb.com/%7Enyononda/CENSUS/farmcensus.html I rented the films of the various Census from the FHC. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, February 29, 2004 1:19 PM Subject: [NYOnonda] NYS Agricultural Census Information > Hello Folks: I have been involved with a project to inventory and examine > barns in the Towns of Fabius, Pompey, Tully and Lafayette, Onondaga County NY. > One of the tools my partners (Randy Nash and J.
