Some public libraries have a subscription to heritagequest.com and/or ancestry.com. Many censuses are not indexed but you can go page by page thru the small northern NY towns and often find who you are looking for. I can do that from my home with a valid library card number for the Montgomery county (MD) library system. Check with your local library. If you have a nearby college they may offer the same service. It generally will not matter if you are not a student. If you are a tax paying local citizen then you are likely supporting the school and some of their services are open to you. Hope this helps - Russ Sprague Kensington, MD
