Hi Everyone, I made my own personal copies of the actual 1850 Census Records for Monterey and Santa Cruz counties. Some of the film was not too good, occasionally the handwriting is a little tough to read, and naturally the spelling sometimes leaves a great deal to be desired. However, I am willing to do lookups for people who beleive their ancestors were in the Motnerey Bay area in 1850. Please include as much of the name as you know (first and last), and any family members as well as state or country of birth (sometimes it's easier to find a person by their nativity). Age can vary greatly, particularly if they were Spanish. My ancestors have a wide range of birth years, depending on which census year I am looking at (I have four possible birth years for my g-g-grandmother alone). Anita
