I have viewed the microfiche records at the LDS church library but the family (2 brothers and 2 sisters) is not included, although they are on the census for 1900. I have a feeling my aunt somehow got the records and possibly never returned them, and I am going to be in New York this spring (I live in California) and thought maybe I could go to wherever they keep the original records to see if I could find anything. Thanks anyone that wants to answer me.
