Hi, Renee again. I'm going to try an experiment. I'm going to send a link to a census record through Ancestry... probably only those of you who have Ancestry subscriptions will succeed... although you might be able to write down the link and take it to your library and use it there.... It's for E. B.[?] Degruy.... a cottonbroker in the 1880 federal census..... If it works for you, please respond to the list and let us know... just hit "reply" If it works might try to send you that previous link from Isabelle. Keep in mind that even if you don't have Ancestry or Heritage Quest... you can probably get these through your library.... either by going there physically or by going onto their web site, if they have one, and linking through the library. You'll probably need a library card for this. For example, I log on to my St. Louis library and use my library card number as my password. I then go to our Special Collections page and log on to Heritage Quest like that. I love HQ because the census records are so easy to manipulate and so clear; however, they don't have all of the one Ancestry does, so I use Ancestry for the missing ones only..... just a hint. http://content.ancestry.com/Browse/view.aspx?dbid=8054&path=Louisiana.Orleans.New+Orleans+Municipality+3+Ward+2.43&vx=0&vy=1055&vw=556&vh=422&zp=50&mo=1&qf=mc&rc= <http://content.ancestry.com/Browse/view.aspx?dbid=8054&path=Louisiana.Orleans.New+Orleans+Municipality+3+Ward+2.43&vx=0&vy=1055&vw=556&vh=422&zp=50&mo=1&qf=mc&rc=>
