So which census do we access when we use Ancestry or Genealogy.com?
Hi Barbara,
From what I understand, Ancestry seems to have both enumerations. (Some
schedules are dated from June & July, while others are from December.) I
inadvertantly cancelled my Genealogy subscription, but I think they only had the first
enumeration. I may be wrong though. When you click into the Census
collection on either website, and go to 1870 New York, there should be some sort of
description of what's been filmed.

However, the National Archives and the LDS have both enumerations on
microfilm. NARA microfilmed both enumerations twice, so there are a total of four
sets of microfilms. The LDS also has the index to the first enumeration
available on CD-Rom now, in addition to the microfilmed index.

One thing NYC area researchers need to remember though - there was only a
second enumeration done for Manhattan! Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island were
only enumerated the one time.

Take care,
Tracy
