I presume so - have never searched NYC for that time period

New
York City records for the NY State Census?>

I have had good luck searching the Family History Library (Family History
Centers at your local Mormon church, perhaps) for films for other areas.
Try there first.

If you don't have any luck there, write to the New York County (NYC)
Clerk, 60 Centre St., New York NY 10007-1402 to see if the ones for the
years you want even exist anymore. The Queens Co. clerk also has state
census records. Write Queens County Clerk, 88-11 Sutphin Blvd., Jamaica
NY. 11435-3716. [they probably are not indexed and you may have to hire
a local researcher]
