    3. Continuing with this subject of census on Ancestry.com: Can you input a name, and then find out or go directly to the different locations or images to view the census?

    3. That depends on if there is an index for the particular year or not. I have found that the indexes are not all that reliable anyway. Sometimes an index file will result in unexpected results so they are sure worth trying. For example: I looked up my wife's great grandmother and got a hit in 1870 in Montana Territory. Big surprise because we didn't think she was there that early. Then in looking around in the 1870 census I found her again! The second entry was not in the index. So there you have it. The lookup worked finding her, but didn't find the second entry. Can't really get out of looking thru the images regardless of the lookup index.

    3. Oh, I forgot one important thing in my previous post on this subject. The census images in ancestry.com are NOT the same images as you get at the Mormon Family History Centers. Ancestry has rescanned them. Most of the time the ancestry.com images are better, but not always. Another thing is that if the images are a mess and you complain they may redo the scan. I found that some of the 1880 census files for KY had been scanned in line art (blank and white) instead of grey scale. They were unreadable. I complained and they fixed it. Joe
