    3. Hi Nora > 1. Are there any free websites with searchable UK census lists? There is the 1881 census on familysearch (no images) There is also freecen (google will find it) an ongoing project to transcribe the census There will be other small pockets here and there but nothing I am aware of Nationaly > 2. Are there any free websites where one can scroll through original > images of census reports? None that I am aware of, the costs for hosting the images is immense and there are copyright issues so I doubt it You can usually access the Ancestry Worldwide via your Library or family history society if you have one but frankly the cost to subscribe is well worth it anyway (yes I know its a cost but about 2 pounds a week, perhaps cheaper in the US?) There are also the census on film available at your nearest LDS FHS but unless they have them already there would be a cost If you have a lot of research in one area it might be worth buying the census on CDs (try e bay and various outlets) but it would probably cost you more that way Best wishes Nivard Ovington, in Cornwall (UK) > > Nora Avery > Gainesville, Florida, USA
