1930 Federal Census for New York

Legg inn av RobertB » 28 des 2007 19:52:36

Does anyone know if the 1930 Federal census for New York is available on
line? I'm not sure how ProQuest works but it looks like it's only
available to institutions. So far, the only place that seems to offer
on-line access is ancestry.com, but they charge an arm and a leg in
monthly fees. Ancestry.com is clever in pointing you to additional
information about your ancestors, but then they get you with the sign-up
fee.

If anyone knows of a less expensive site that provides access to the
1930 (and earlier) census, I'd appreciate it. The NYPL has a copy of
this, but it's on microfiche and you must access it from the library.

Also, if anyone has a recommendation either for an on-line site that is
inexpensive or Mac-friendly software for doing same, I'd appreciate any
pointers. Thanks.

FYI, I'm trying to look up my paternal grandfather and his wife. I have
precious little information about that side of my family.

NYPL has Ancestry Library Edition (includes 1930 Census). I've used it at
the 5th Ave library and it is supposed to be available at branch libraries
according to the NYPL web site.

If you don't find what you need elsewhere, post your grandfather's
name and his wife's name here, and the names of their children and
dates of birth and city/state/county where they lived, so that someone
who has access can look up the entry for you.

I'm not sure of your question. http://www.nypl.org has all the information
available about the NYPL.

The library at 5th Ave and 42nd Street has The Irma and Paul Milstein
Division of United States History, Local History and Genealogy in Room 121.
They have Ancestry.com, HeritageQuest.com and other online research tools.
They also have microfilm and microfiche of items not yet available online.
The National Archives at 201 Varick St (12th floor) also has Ancestry.com
along with many file cabinets of microfilm.

I meant, what is "Ancestry Library Edition?" I use NYPL on a regular
basis. <g>

I see. One cannot do this from home, however. When I have some free
time, I'm going to go up there and see what I can find. Should be fun.
