This might have been useful, I purchased one of those "index of all the surnames in the US Censuses" and please, don't fall for it. Mine happens to be for the Surname of Hodges and this supposedly ALL SURNAMES is sadly lacking. I've got copies of census records that do not appear in their so-called complete listing. I was intrigued because it started from 1790 - but got very little from it, certainly not worth the money. Flavia Hodges, San Pablo, California
