Does anyone know what went on with York County and the 1870 census? York County, according to the genealogical reference, was created in teh 1740's or something. Certainly before 1870. Further, I find people in York County in the 1820 census index. But for 1870, York County does not exist on FTM's CDs for both Eastern and WEstern Pennsylvania, though all other counties appear to be tehre, and when I went to the 1870 census index for Pennsylvania on microfiche, I didn't find a single Moore name listed as living in York County. I don't think no Moore's lived in York County, or any other county, in 1870! But I prepared lists of page numbers by roll number and town, to look up Moores and Riker's (and thousand alternate spellings) in Lancaster, Chester and certain other counties for 1870. And when I looked at a map of York and Lancaster Counties, I noticed that most of the eastern towns in York County were ones I had found people in in Lancaster County in the 1870 census index on FTM's CD. Anyone know what is going on? Did York County not exist, did it exist and do the census but the records didn't survive, has it not been indexed, or is it that for some reason in 1870, York County was enumerated as part of adjacent counties including Lancaster County?
