APHGA Corrects Pagination Errors in Census Microfilms for Onondaga County,
NY
(javascript:showOdiogoReadNowFrame ('270710', 'aphga corrects pagination

The following announcement was written by the American Pomeroy Historic
Genealogical Association (APHGA):
1820 US Federal Census Microfilm Errors Corrected for Onondaga County, NY.
The American Pomeroy Historic Genealogical Association (APHGA) identified
an error in the pagination sequence of the microfilmed copies of the 1820 US
Federal Census. These errors relate to the towns of Manlius, Cicero and
Lysander in Onondaga County, New York, and were discovered while attempting
to verify the location of the Spencer Pomeroy and Lucy Pomeroy households.


The APHGA’s research indicated that both of these Pomeroy families should
have been living in Manlius, N.Y., but both the Ancestry.com and Heritage
Quest indices placed these households in neighboring Cicero. By examining
the total counts by page and town for both the Manlius and Cicero microfilm
rolls on Ancestry.com we were able to determine that these pages were
filmed out of sequence. When the pages were sorted out we were able to verify
that only 3 pages of the 21 page Cicero microfilm roll were part of the
original 1820 Cicero census!
The APHGA has created corrected indices of the 1820 US Federal Census for
the towns of Cicero, Manlius and Lysander in Onondaga County for use with
Ancestry.com and Heritage Quest images. These indices, along with other
documentation explaining how this error was detected and how corrected results
were substantiated are available free of charge on the APHGA website at

(http://www.americanpomeroys.org/Coetranscriptions.html) .
The American Pomeroy Historic Genealogical Association was founded by Bill
Pomeroy of Syracuse, NY, in order to provide an organization to facilitate
American Pomeroy research. We provide a platform for the collection,
communication and collaboration of research regarding the descendants of
Eltweed Pomeroy, and act as a clearinghouse for that research. Bill's dream is to
publish an update of the Albert A. Pomeroy genealogy books, The History
and Genealogy of the Pomeroy Family, Volumes I-III, published in 1912 and
1922. The APHGA has also founded the Pomeroy Anvil Trail, a project to
install monuments in the shape of the Pomeroy Anvil across the United States in
places that were historic to the Pomeroy Family.
