Locating Enumeration Districts in the 1930 Federal Census

Steve Morse has created an excellent and easy to use One-Step Search Engine entitled "Obtaining EDs for the 1930 Census in One Step (Large Cities)." This very helpful site can be seen at http://www.stevemorse.org/census/

The National Archives (NARA) has also made available a 1930 census microfilm Locator at their web site at: http://1930census.archives.gov/. According to the NARA publication 1930 Federal Poluplation Census: Catalog of National Archives Microfilm, the locator is described as follows:

"You can use this Locator to find the roll of film you need for a specific county, township, or enumeration district. You can also search by place or institution.
The Locator also guides you to sepcific Soundex microfilm rolls for the 12 Southern Soundexed states.
The Locator is not a family or name index, and it is not a digital version of the census."

1940 Federal Census

In April 2013, the 1940 Federal Census became available for free on Ancestry.com. In about five years, they will place it under their subscription services only section. However, at that time, the 1940 Federal Census will be available to be viewed for free on the National Archives web site.

New York State Census Records

New York State census records are available for Putnam county for the years 1915, and 1925 only. The LDS Family History Library has these on microfilm for viewing at a local Family History Center.

Additionally, FamilySearch has them digitized and you can view them on their web site for free.

For a chart showing which of the New York State censuses is available for each county and each year, visit the New York State Library web site.
