Ancestry.com Adds New York Censuses
Posted by Diane
Genealogy website Ancestry.com has released a name index to the 1940 US
census for New York. With a population of
13.5 million in 1940, New York State was home more than 10 percent
of the country’s residents.
You can search
Ancestry.com's 1940 census index (besides New York, it also covers
Washington DC, Delaware, Maine and Nevada) for free here.
Ancestry.com also has added the 1892,
1915
and 1925
New York state censuses to its subscription databases.
The 1892 census is important as a substitute for the lost 1890 US
census, which was destroyed after a fire at the Census Bureau. Some
New York counties are missing from the 1892 census.
If you're not an Ancestry.com subscriber, the
1892 census also is searchable free at FamilySearch.org.
