Hi
The 1855 NYS census for Chautauqua Co- has been indexed and I know
that
the ones for Cattaraugus County are also indexed. Beyond that I donot
know.
Most of these can be ordered through the LDS Family History Centers.
If one is near you ask and someone will help you order them.

lionel,
the 1865 and 1875(and maybe 1855) ny state census is available from
the mormon church. the micro films are divided by county.
they are basicly photos of the actual pages the enumerator
wrote on as he walk down the street. the pages are sectioned by
villages.
this written at the top of the page. they are in no particular order,
atleast
as far as i could tell. they aren't too bad, but if you don't know a
town
or atleast a county your out of luck, i don't think there is any
index.
the 1900 federal census is indexed, but i am not sure how early
the indexed federal censes' go, i think maybe the 1880 census is a
detailed census.
good luck,
tim

Subject: NYS Census
NYS census taken in 1825,35,45,55,65,75,92,1905,1915, and 1925. Only
the
ones after 1850 list each family memner's name, others just number in
age
groups and head of house.
While some may be indexed by locals, I don't believe there is any
complete
index that I know of. Censuses are usually found in the local county
clerk's
office, at the NYS Library in Albany, NY, the LDS has them and A.G.L.
(I
think those initials are right) It's the lending system. They may be
available thru inter library loan in some places. They are not
complete, not
all survived. 1865 lists Civil War dead, widows, and I guess vets,
with
units. Many have deaths and marriages that occurred that past year and
maybe
births, can't remember without looking it up. Nice feature, some years
tells
state of birth if not NYS and the COUNTY of birth if in New York
State.

I do not know about other counties but my county has been indexed and
is available at the local FHC and the local library. Also look-ups
through
the Orleans County web page.
2. Are microfilms of the census records available?
Yes, you should be able to order them at your FHC.

I recall ordering the 1845 census at my local LDS Family History
Center. I found my relative, but I guess that's becaus eit was a
small
town.
I will note that there is quite a bit of information, right down to
how
many cows, pigs and other animals, how much fabric was produced in the
household the previous year etc. etc.
UNless its NYC, it might be worth it for you to spend a few evenings
browsing films.

Your local Family History Center at a Mormon church will have the info
on fishe, under NY, census. You can order the films from there.

Brooklyn, 1855 & 1865 and maybe 1875, have the same type of information:
crops, number of horses, cows, and the industry in the area; and the going
wages in the ED for various occupations. It was great reading.

State censuses were done in 1825, 1835, 1845, 1855, 1865, 1875, 1892, 1905,
1915, and 1925. Not all records, particularly 1825-1845, are still extant
for all counties. Microfilms are available through the Family History
Centers and presumably at major libraries in New York. I'm not aware of
any indices; I've found what I needed by browsing (admittedly in a
sparsely-populated area).

New York took censuses in 1845, 1855, 1865, 1875, 1892, 1905, 1915, and
1925 I believe. These censuses do not survive for all counties. Most are
not indexed. There is an index for 1855 for Erie County outside the city of
Buffalo. They are available on microfilm. The 1855 is the first one that
lists all persons.
