A hardcopy of the 1850 York Co. census is (or was) available from the Broad River Genealogical Society, P.O. Box 2261, Shelby NC 28151-2261. Costs was $25.00 They have census books from different periods from neighboring NC counties as well. I think they still have a list of all their publications on their website, but I am having trouble connecting to the web right now, so can't give you that URL. I find it truly helpful to be able to sit at leisure and study the surrounding families and look for names that were misspelled etc. by having a hardcopy of the census. I am willing to do limited lookups in my copy, but please limit your requests and don't expect an immediate response (I do not get on my computer much during the week). Janelle Dixon
