I am a new member, and am trying to download census search results from Ancestry into Excel. There are instructions around the GOONS site on how to do this, but they all say to change the end of the search result URL to 2000 to get the results in fewer passes. It does not seem to matter what I change it to, I still only get 50 results. I am guessing this is a result of Ancestry's interface upgrade last year, and if it is, does anyone have any ideas about getting more than 50 results. My search came up with almost 4000 results! Thanks Ron

Ahh - those were the days. I was able to download all my UK (1841-1901) census data before the loop-hole was stopped. Unfortunately, I took too long a rest before attempting USA data - and was too late. So that was the end of my bulk data acquisition. Luckily - it was soon after that when people started discussing the question of what good is having all that data. While part of me said - "agree - leave it where it is - as long as I pay Ancestry, I can access it when I want" - another part said "how can I access the ancestry database to look at distribution, migrations, etc". So - in hind-sight I should have downloaded everything - but I cannot turn back the clock. My analysis of the data will have to be UK-only for the foreseeable future.
