    3. Thought I would pass along a great tip........ past on to me on another list by the list minder...... For those of you that followed up on my previous message about free census spreadsheet available for organizing individual federal census data......Gary Minder has done it again and made things even easier....also new and easier website to work with.....everything still free..he does ask that you consider making a donation if you find useful.......take a look> Here is quote from his page....... "now have three spreadsheets available. The U.S. Federal Census spreadsheet has separate pages for each census year from 1790-1920, including the 1880-1920 Soundex. Each page is formatted to faithfully match the actual census for each year. It's a great way to finally organize your census records of an entire family for up to 130 years! I created my newest spreadsheet, the CENSUS TRACKER to supplement the Federal Census spreadsheet. It allows a researcher to document all available census data for an individual on a single worksheet! At a glance and in a very professional appearing report, you can trace the important aspects of your ancestors' lives. Your pile of census data, difficult to analyze and evaluate when buried in drawers and paper files, comes alive when properly organized! The Canadian Census spreadsheet is similar to the U.S. Federal in design and it covers the 1851-1901 census years. I used Microsoft Excel 97 to create my spreadsheets and they should be compatible with most any recent spreadsheet software out there. Check the compatibility page for the latest info on other spreadsheet programs." His new url is http://www.censustools.com Hope this helps someone out, Barb in Savannah,GA
