Hi Everyone, I have been a member of Ancestry for several years. There is a basic charge to use their site and data that is about $60 per year. For an additional $30 per year there is access to scanned images of the the actual1790,1800,1880,1900,1910 & 1920 census. They will complete the remaining years, I would guess, by the time the 1930 census is released in April. They are also creating online search with direct link to the actual image of the page. This now exists for 1790 and 1800. One also gets access to scanned images of the index cards for Civil War Pension applications. I have found this to be a wonderful resource. Even though I am lucky enough to live close to a NARA branch, I find it valuable to be able to find an image and immediately check out other resources online. I just wish there were as many resources for us native Californians as there are for the rest of the country. Chancy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
