WAYNE COUNTY N.Y. CENSUS PARTIALS




NOTE: this introduction was written in late 2000.

As regular site visitors know, the original 1840 census transcription project fizzled out and is on hold due to the variable and mainly bad condition of the microfilm. Meanwhile, and not to be stymied, we're going ahead with putting up "census partials". These consist of isolated readings or whole pages from miscellaneous censuses. Contributions have already come in from several researchers.

Format varies depending on a given year's categories and how the contributor typed them up. Some contributors were able to add page and roll numbers. Census year and town is a must and we'd like to have page number and roll number if you took that down (to assist other researchers). If you'd like to type up census fragments or full sheets you have at home (someone else's relatives may be on your family's sheet), first contact _______ to discuss typing format and file type.




Many thanks to researcher Susan (Sue) Gates Davis for her contribution of a fine batch of census partials (spanning 1850-1910). Notes in parentheses are Sue's. Many immigrants came to Wayne County directly from Holland in the mid 19th century. Be sure and visit Sue's own genealogy page, Gates-Nichols Genealogy.
