The Rebound 1810 Census of Cayuga County, New York

I discuss the problem of rebound censuses on another page. Sad to say, Cayuga County in 1810 (Roll M252-31) is one such afflicted county. The problem is compounded by the pages being microfilmed as two-page spreads, instead of individually, because this is what places unrelated pages together in the same frame/image.

If the tables below look complicated, they are, but Ancestry.com (and Genealogy.com) could straighten this out, and the solution is much simpler than it was figuring out the problem and creating the tables. Simply…

1. Slice all the two-page spreads into single pages.
2. Put the single pages in order by the 4-digit number written on each page.
3. Regroup the pages by town, which would be a snap because now each town's pages would be contiguous with a clear start and end point (see Summary below).

That's all it would take. Not only would this be a more accurate representation of the census, it would cut storage and bandwith requirements by 50%, not to mention making it easier for customers to use (in part by reducing the number of pages mis-linked from the index). Most important of all, it would reduce the errors being made by those who are unaware of the problem. If the reorganization isn't done, it would be far better if Ancestry.com and Genealogy.com would not group the images by town, but keep them together as a single group. At least then it wouldn't delude people that the images are correctly grouped.

Summary of Pages

1096 - 1097	Header and Introduction
1098 - 1109	Town of Dryden
1110 - 1124	Town of Locke
1125 - 1144	Town of Sempronius
1145 - 1150	Town of Owasco
1151 - 1162	Town of Brutus
1163 - 1169	Town of Cato
1170 - 1176	Town of Mentz
1177 - 1210	Town of Aurelius
1211 - 1248	Town of Scipio
1249 - 1279	Town of Genoa
1280 - 1281	Tallies

"Towns" in Cayuga County are civil divisions equivalent to townships. Several villages were enumerated within the towns, but I could only tell where they started, not where they ended, so I did not differentiate those pages in the tables below. Each pair of pages had a subtotal, but the totals for each town were not at the end of each town, but at the end of the county as part of the final tally.

Genealogy.com and the Broderbund Census Index CD have the Cayuga County images ordered and indexed by the frame numbers of the microfilm, which has nothing to do with the page numbers on the census pages themselves. Such a number is a bad choice to use as a "page number" because it will vary depending on the vendor supplying the microfilm, which is exemplified in this case because the "page" numbers given at Genealogy.com and on the Broderbund CD are "off" by one or two digits (at least on the names I checked). The images at Genealogy.com begin with page [frame] 3 of the microfilm, which is the same census page as Image #1 in the Sempronius group at Ancestry.com, but I didn't want to complicate the table below by adding another set of "page" numbers to it.

Ancestry.com has Cayuga County indexed by the actual four-digit census page numbers, which would make linking the index entries to the correct page so easy if they would just regroup the pages as above. As it stands, many index entries are mis-linked, often to the right page, but in the wrong group.

Legend

"Groups" are the groups of images Ancestry.com.*

Img = Image number at Ancestry.com (each image is a two-page spread)
UL = whether the Upper or Lower page of the two-page spread
PN = small number in pen or pencil
CN = large number in what looks like crayon or grease pencil
Town = town name written on the page [or deduced]

*The group labeled, "Drydew," is simply a mis-reading of one page from Dryden. The group labeled "Aurora" is the first page for Scipio, labeled there as "Town of Scipio, Village of Aurora," but as we can't tell where the village ends, I see no point in giving this one page a separate group, especially as is may mislead people into thinking only those listed on that one page live in Aurora, which may or may not be true.

The pattern here, due to the unfolding and rebinding, has resulted in two alternating sets of numbers proceeding from the header/intro page in the middle of the film, forward to the beginning of the film, with a turn-around in Sempronius, then back to the middle where the numbers then proceed to the end of the film, with a turn-around in Scipio, then back to the middle of the film where the sequence ends with the tally pages. There's a gap in pagination between nos. 1185 and 1192 (in Aurelius) which is noted on the pages themselves (see below), so appears not to represent a loss of information, yet one has to wonder what was on pages 1186-1191.

					A note on p. 1185 says, "Continued on page 1191." But the next page on the film (which can be gone through page-by-page at Genealogy.com) is 1192, on which it says, "continued from page 1185." If Aurelius was, indeed, continued on page 1191, then that page appears to be lost. And, of course, one wonders what was on pp. 1186-1191.					7	U	51	1192	Aurelius
