    3. Hi List There is a new CD available from the LDS called Immigration Index it costs $8 Aust. it comes with a viewer No 3 which can let you access all sorts of things with the 1881 census, please read the mail below from another list. Max Good news. I ordered the LDS Immigration Index (which I didn't really have need for) but along with it came version 3 of FolioViews.. The whole lot was only £5.95 and was a bargain in any case. I was over the moon when I discovered that when using the new viewer on the 1881 census that I can search for virtually anything. Examples: Street Names, Occupations, Public Houses, Deaf & dumb, Prisons and institutions etc For instance, suppose I wanted to know all the beer sellers in Manchester in 1881 - no problem now with version 3 viewer. By the way to use it, carry out the following simple instructions: 1) When the search screen appears cancel it 2) Click on Search 3) Click on Neighbours - Advances Query 4) You can use Boolean Logic Searches One just needs to play about with it to discover what its capable of, but I think everyone will be pleased with the results. I don't know if the LDS are shipping the Version 3 viewer with the current 1881 census? Oh, by the way, you can order the Mormon Immigration Index (which contains the new viewer from Garrets Green in Birmingham. Or if you live in other Countries than the UK, then from your usual Mormon Stockist. Best wishes, Martin
