I seriously doubt that any of these companies would protest the use. It's always nice to ask. I've NEVER had anyone turn me down. A footnote giving them credit is great advertising for them. --- I don't believe ANY company that has reproduced census images could or would object to a subscriber copying and printing out the image for their own personal genealogical research and records. Of course, where you got the census record should be a part of the documentation--but mainly because it is your SOURCE for knowing the information you learned from the census record. Joan
