I'm sure the list is getting tired of my little notes but I can't help this one. I subscribed to ancestry.com so that I could access at work. Slowly some of the other systems (usgenweb.com, familysearch.com, rootsweb.com and the other free-be ones) are putting more and more on their sites. I can hardly wait. For me, ancestry.com has been wonderful. I subscribe to the census images and the other databases but my situation is unique in that I have the power of the internet service of a whole school district (one of the few sites they won't block for students' benefit) and it's fast. Because I can jump to the pages that I know I need, it still works at home on my old dial up but it's much MUCH slower. With patience you can get it to work and if you know where you are going it works pretty good. They are adding more indexes for the 1930 everyday and it's getting better all the time but I'll always want faster. Until you decide there are always us helpful hannahs out here that will do lookups for you. Gen kindness and all that!
