Hi All, Hope you can answer this one for me. A friend is looking at a yearlong online (gift) subscription with the purpose of accessing online census images. Has anyone had experience with either ancestry.com or genealogy.com or have another suggestion? If you were to chose, which do you think provides the best bang for the buck? Thanks, Cindy

Hi, all-- I have both Ancestry.com and Genealogy.com census subscriptions. I use a Macintosh, and viewing and printing the census images works real well with Genealogy.com and doesn't work well on Ancestry.com. Unfortunately for me, Ancestry.com has a wonderful feature that Genealogy.com doesn't have: jump-to-page. So, if you know the page you're looking for (sometimes you do; sometimes you don't), it's great on Ancestry.com and horribly slow on Genealogy.com. Ancestry.com has the censuses for 1790 through 1930. 1790 through 1850 and 1920 are indexed; 1860 and 1930 are partially indexed. Genealogy.com has 1790 through 1910. 1790, 1900, 1810, 1870, 1890 (hardly any of that one), and 1900 are indexed. That's the extent of my knowledge.
