While trying to locate my Marshall and Walker ancestors in New York, I've run up against a real brick wall in the 1855 census--the 17th ward has not been filmed by the LDS Genealogical Library. Does anyone know whether the record has been microfilmed at all or where I can find the originals. The family lived in either election district 5 or 6. I checked with the New York State Genealogical Society--it does not research census records. Is there someone who does? By the way, I just checked the LDS microfilm for Ward 11. It is terribly water-damaged. Election districts 1 through 4 are largely unreadable, 5 through 9 are pretty clear with nice handwriting and 10 is readable but the handwriting is attrocious.
