From Eastmans Online Genealogy Newsletter: Lindon, UT - March 11, 2010 – In order to encourage more people to find their ancestors and connect with family, Footnote.com <http://www.footnote.com/?xid=640>, the web’s premier interactive history site, is opening all of their U.S. census documents for free to the public for a limited time. Unlike any other historical collection on the web, the Interactive Census Collection <http://go.footnote.com/census/?xid=640> has the unique ability to connect people related to ancestors found on the historical documents. Simply by clicking the “I’m Related” button for a name on the document will identify you as a descendent and also list others that have done the same. Never before has it been as easy to connect with distant relatives through historical documents. To learn how to get started with the Interactive Census, visit: http://go.footnote.com/discover <http://go.footnote.com/discover/?xid=640>.

Not good for much but fun to watch when you push them down the stairs. Sent with Thunderbird on my Kubuntu Linux Desktop
