    1850 Census - Canaan (Town of) - partial   (Bill Bither)

    1850 Census - Stephentown (Town of)   (Tina Ordone)  Name, age, and occupations only.   

    1855 Census for the Town of Berlin  (Janet H. Derbyshire)  The title and introduction of this posting are both

        incorrect.  Record all extracted records as "Town of Berlin" rather than just Berlin (the village), unless

        something in the census indicates that the record is truly from the village.  The introduction should

        probably read, "The Town of Berlin was formed from the Towns of Petersburgh, Schodack and

        Stephentown March 21 1806.  A portion of the Town of Sand Lake was taken off in 1812."  To access,

        click HERE.

    1855 Census for the Town of Brunswick  (Janet Derbyshire)  The title is incomplete.  Records should be recorded

        as being from the "Town of Brunswick" instead of Brunswick.  To access, click HERE.

    1855 Census for the Town of Clinton (now Town of East Greenbush)  (Janet Derbyshire)  The introductory

        remarks should probably read, "The Town of Clinton was formed from the Town of Greenbush 23 Feb 1855. 

        It became the Town of East Greenbush 14 Apr 1858".  In NY, a Town is a subdivision of a county.  To

          complete list of agricultural questions as they apply to John Yakel, click HERE.

    1855 Census for the Town of Grafton  (Janet Derbyshire)  The title is incomplete.  Records should be recorded

        as being from the "Town of Grafton" instead of just Grafton.  To access, click HERE.

    1855 Census for the Town of Greenbush  (Janet Derbyshire)  Appears to contain images of a typed transcription

        of the census.  A time saving clickable index has been provided.  The title says that this is a census for the

        Town of Greenbush.  The introductory remarks only talk about the village/city of Greenbush.  It is unclear

         whether a record would be for the Town or village/city of Greenbush, or whether this transcription actually

         contains both.  To access, click HERE. 

    1855 Census for the Town of North Greenbush  (Janet Derbyshire)  Introduction should probably say

        "The Town of North Greenbush was formed from the Town of Greenbush...".   To access, click HERE.

    1855 Census for the Town of Petersburgh  (Janet Derbyshire)  The title is incomplete.  Records should say

        from the "Town of Petersburgh" instead of just Petersburgh.  The introduction should probably read,

        "The Town of Petersburgh was formed from the Town of Stephentown...."  To access, click HERE.

    1855 Census for the Town of Poestenkill  (Janet Derbyshire)  The introduction should probably read,

        "The Town of Poestenkill was formed from the Town of Sand Lake ...".  To access, click HERE.

    1855 Census for the Town of Sand Lake  (Janet Derbyshire)

    1855 Census for the Town of Schodack   (Kari J. Maunu)

    1855 Censuses for the Towns of: Clinton (now Town of East Greenbush), Greenbush, North Greenbush,

        Poestenkill, and Sand Lake   (Janet H. Derbyshire)   The titles for these five census transcriptions are

        incorrect and the introductory remarks are often misleading.  It would be better to use the RootsWeb

        versions of these same censuses listed separately above (by the same transcriber) which have correct 

        census titles.  To access the versions in this link instead, click HERE.

    1870 Censuses for Troy 5th ward, and the Towns of Nassau, Poestenkill, Berlin, Grafton  

        (Barbara J. Jeffries)  CAUTION:  Several censuses are listed below the Troy heading.  If you overlook the

        note near the top of that webpage, you will not realize that there are five locations on the page.  Don't

        record anything as Troy 5th Ward without carefully checking.  Although Nassau, etc. are Towns (not

        villages or hamlets) only one of them is correctly labelled.  Add "Town of" to your location label.  To
