    3. This is almost too wonderful to be true but it is! I have already found several of my ancestors and printed them off. Good Luck in finding your family too! Patti How would you like to see, save and print actual census pages for the federal censuses of 1790, 1800, 1810 and 1870? For free? Yes, it's true First go to: http://www.fremontlibrary.org/ The Freemont Library in Mundelein, IL Click on : Database (on left) Click on: Genealogy and Local History Online This brings you to HeritageQuest Online which I guess the library has a subscription for. All of the above censuses are indexed and for the whole country. If you search 1870, be aware there are two pages for each number, like 270a&b. When I searched for my Hugh Flynn, I got the first page and his name was not on it. Above the image is PAGE with an arrow going back and an arrow going forward. The search brings you to the first page 270a, when I click on the forward arrow for page I got the next image, 270b which sure enough had my Hugh Flynn! Now if that is not enough, you can actually browse the 1820, 1830, 1840 and 1910 censuses which are not indexed. At the top of the page is the Browse button. Word of warning: as this gets out, it gets pretty busy and sometimes I get an error message when trying to connect. Also, if you get the user name and password, go back out to the library and start again. Good luck. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com All outgoing mail virus free, scanned by Norton 2002 ==== NYRENSSE Mailing List ==== Have you added your names to the Troy Surname Roster? http://www.connorsgenealogy.com/troy/troysurnames.html
