For an account of Carl Carmer's research efforts post-1911 fire, see my Odds & Ends newsletter article on Carmer at my home page: >http://home.eznet.net/~dminor< >The original census from which Kenneth Scott made his transcription is in >the Van Rensselaer Manor Papers here. I discovered it a number of years >ago and had it restored as it suffered damage in the Capitol Fire of 1911. >We have also made a photocopy of the original for researchers to use and >to minimize further damage to the original. It has not been microfilmed >yet. If you would like a microfilm made, please inform me and I will have >a cost estimate done for you. > >Whether it was done at the same time as the Federal census is something I >do not know, but sometime in the next week or so, I will see what I can >find out and let you know. > > >Jim Corsaro > > > > >James Corsaro >Associate Librarian >Manuscripts and Special Collections >New York State Library >Empire State Plaza >Albany, NY 12230 > > > >On Thu, 18 Jun 1998, Ian McGiver wrote: > >> Is anyone familiar with the 1790 New York STATE (rather than FEDERAL) >> census of towns in Albany County? >> >> I have some questions about it.
