I am wanting to purchase transcribed census cd's [not images because most are scanned out of focus and I cannot read them no matter how much I zoom or what filter I use]. So, where do I buy transcribed census cd's? And, is their a kind soul who already owns one who would be willing to do a few searches for me? Thanks,

There are census indexes, but with minimal data recorded and usually only heads-of-household listed. Check the Heritage Quest, Ancestry, and FamilyTreeMaker websites. One I know of for the USA is the 1880 Federal Census published by the LDS Family History Center.

www.familysearch.org ?? Where do I go on that web site to search the 1880 census index? PS How much time do you think it would take me to fully transcribe the 1900 Hamilton County TN census?
