New York Federal and State Census Records

New York Federal Census Records were taken every 10 years and include 1790, 1800, 1810, 1820, 1830, 1840, 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880, 1900, 1910, 1920 and 1930 .

1890 New York Federal Census Records were destroyed in a fire with the exception of small fragments of Suffolk and Westchester Counties.

The 1890 Veterans and Widows census records schedules for New York did survive and can be helpful as a census substitute.


The New York State Census was completed for the following years: 1825 (all partial), 1835, 1845, 1855, 1865, 1875, 1892, 1905, 1915, and 1925. The original records for the State's pre-1915 census are kept at the county level. You may contact the county clerk's office to ascertain their availability and location. Original manuscripts of the 1915 and 1925 census records are maintained by the State Archives. The 1865 and 1875 New York State Census also includes mortality schedules in the census which records the marriages and deaths for the year.
